International Women’s Day is celebrating 100 years of celebrating the achievements of women this year. Am I the only one who finds that kind of a sad idea, that we actually had to go and assign one specific day to do that?
Anyway, a few quotes to honour the day by people I’ve never heard of:

— Florynce Kennedy

— Bella Abzug
How good does a female athlete have to be before we just call her an athlete?
