There is a quote by Harriet Beecher Stowe that says “Women are the real architects of society”. Women have gone through so much through the history, and we made remarkable progress. This wouldn’t be possible if women didn’t stand up for themselves and decided to be whatever they wanted to be. Many remarkable women changed the history, and many remarkable women will change the future. Today we decided to remember ten of these incredible women that changed the world into the world we know today.
1. Marie Curie-Polish-French physicist and chemist, the first person to have received two Nobel Prizes.
Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.
2. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.
You have to reach a level of comfort with that risk.
3. Dr. Mae C. Jemison, engineer, physician, and first black woman to orbit Earth
Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity.
4. Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mount Everest.
Everest for me, and I believe for the world, is the physical and symbolic manifestation of overcoming odds to achieve a dream.
5. Indira Gandhi, the first and only female prime minister of India to date.
The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
6. Rosa Parks, activist, and icon of American civil rights.
I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would be also free.
7. Amelia Earhart, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic.
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
8. Susan B. Anthony, crusader for the women’s suffrage movement.
Independence is happiness.
9. Katharine Hepburn, won four academy awards for Best actress, the most an actress has ever won.
If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased.
10. Sarah Breedlove, the first female self-made millionaire in US history.
Don’t sit down and wait for opportunities to come . . . get up and make them!
Happy Women’s Day!
