1. “We clear a woman’s way / We don’t fear the day / She steps into the light / Because we are with her / Every step of the fight. / There’s a lot at stake, but making / A difference always takes great courage. / So we encourage women who dare to stare / Fear square in its face, / Women who’ve always shown / That when one woman stands up / She is never alone.” —Amanda Gorman
2. “Women’s rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about ‘us’; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us.” —Toni Morrison
3. “They’ll tell you you’re too loud—that you need to wait your turn; and ask the right people for permission. Do it anyway.” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
4. “If one man can destroy everything, why can’t one girl change it?” —Malala Yousafzai
5. “Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It’s about making life more fair for women everywhere. It’s not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It’s about baking a new pie.” —Gloria Steinem
6. “You may not have signed up for a hero’s journey, but the second you fell, got your butt kicked, suffered a disappointment, screwed up, or felt your heart break, it started. It doesn’t matter whether we are ready for an emotional adventure—hurt happens. And it happens to every single one of us. Without exception. The only decision we get to make is what role we’ll play in our own lives: Do we want to write the story, or do we want to hand that power over to someone else? Choosing to write our own story means getting uncomfortable; it’s choosing courage over comfort.” —Brené Brown
7. “No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.” —Michelle Obama

9. “For thousands of years, in most cultures, the voices of women did not resound in the halls of justice, or from the pulpit or the podium, in parliament, at senates, at court, or in the very important meetings of very important men where the course of history was set. You could make a case that, along with the technological revolution, the most provocative, upending, destabilizing, thrilling change in the course of human history is that we’re finally in it. We’re here now, women are in the world, and we will not be bullied.” —Meryl Streep
10. “There’s something so special about a woman who dominates in a man’s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer.” —Rihanna
11. “Feminism is not a stick with which to beat other women. It’s about freedom, it’s about liberation, it’s about equality.” —Emma Watson
12. “I’m glad I’m a woman; I’m glad I’m a rapper because I get to speak to these people who did not get spoken for in this genre.” —Lizzo
13. “Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. / I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size / But when I start to tell them, / They think I’m telling lies. / I say, / It’s in the reach of my arms, / The span of my hips, / The stride of my step, / The curl of my lips. / I’m a woman / Phenomenally. / Phenomenal woman, / That’s me.” —Maya Angelou
14. “I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own. And I am not free as long as one person of color remains chained.” —Audre Lorde
15. “As women achieve power, the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we’ll all be better off for it.” —Sandra Day O’Connor
16. “Women, whether subtly or vociferously, have always been a tremendous power in the destiny of the world and with so many of them now holding important positions and receiving recognition and earning the respect of the men as well as the members of their own sex, it seems more than ever that in this crisis, ‘It’s Up to the Women!'” —Eleanor Roosevelt
