Women's Day is here, a day dedicated to celebrating womanhood's achievements and empowering women. While we are amazing, and don't really need a specific day to make us feel special, but the day is special to us because it reminds us how long we have come. On this special day, we would love to think about all the wonderful women we have around us and cherish the word of wisdom they have bestowed upon us. Women with vision such as Michelle Obama, Meryl Streep, Emma Watson among so many others have always encouraged us all. Empowering quotes from many such women have been helping us shape our vision towards a better future. On women's day, we are filled with a sense of pride and power to read such quotes and take inspiration from the powerful women. Their quotes of wisdom give us the right perspective to tackle life as it comes. Here's looking at some of them.  International Women's Day 2019 Theme: History and Significance of The Day That Promotes Women's Rights.
