International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It’s been occurring for well over a century and continues to grow in strength, acting as a call to action for accelerating gender parity. “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights,” says world-renowned feminist, journalist and social and political activist Gloria Steinem.
This International Women’s Day, in addition to recognizing all the other amazing women out there, we want to make sure all you ladies celebrate your own amazing achievements! Live today, heck, live everyday like the boss queen you are!

7 Ways to Let Your Hair Down this Women’s Day
1. Watch a movie or show with a kick ass leading lady:
Get pumped up while watching your fav gals take on life. Whether that means binge watching all your favorite episodes of Sex and the City, or channeling your inner Katniss Everdeen – we say go for it. Inspiration is a huge motivator and having positive role models is a proven key to success.
Living in London or New York? Take your experience from the screen to the stage and watch Wicked, one of the longest running musicals that stars two women as the leading ladies: Elphaba and Glinda. The story revolves around their friendship and what good and evil really entails. Sure, they face some drama with family, boys, power – you know, the usual. But in the end, their bond overcomes these obstacles.
