Every day is a great day to celebrate the amazing women in your life, but International Women's Day gives you an extra reason to do just that. Celebrated every year on March 8, the holiday encourages all people to actively choose to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness about women's equality, lobby for accelerated gender parity and fundraise for female-focused charities. Women make a difference everyday. We celebrate all women and here are just a few women we thought you should know!
