13 Inspirational Quotes To Celebrate Women

All around the world people are celebrating International Women's Day with some of the top quotes on how women have inspired and shaped our lives. To think that it was only fifty years ago where women did not even have the right to vote and now have all the same rights as men.

But are women considered equal to men in the twenty first century?

Not only by getting paid less money for the same jobs that men do, but in how they are treated by their communities.
