Women’s Day is a very special date celebrated all over the world, and there are women’s phrases that will remain in our memories forever.
That’s why we went in search of what we think are the most inspiring feminist quotes of all time, from such captivating characters as Simone de Beauvoir, Coco Chanel, Michelle Obama, among many others.
With these women’s quotes, they have ended up leaving their own mark on the collective memory.
