As Women’s History Month comes to a close, it’s become very clear we’ve only scratched the surface of not only great women of history but the many great things women are doing now, enough to keep this celebration going for eternity!

With that in mind, we’re highlighting just a few of the strongest, most inspiring women of the past and of today that continue propelling the world forward. Mothers and daughters, grandmothers and sisters, there isn’t a single woman who doesn’t deserve to be recognized for her greatness and contributions to the world, but these specific women have caught our eyes time and time again.

For the entirety of human existence, women have been held back, held down and even shut out. Whether by male insecurity or fear, jealousy and just the sport of sexism, we have either engaged in or stood by to watch the holding down and shutting out of women, but no more.

Women’s History is a spectacular time to celebrate these countless contributions of women, but it’s also an opportunity, a call to men and people of all genders, to end the holding back and to lift women up where they belong — equals alongside us.

Now it’s your turn to lift up the women closest to you. Lift up all women with a capital W. How will you transform whatever you’ve done in the past that may have held women back, even if unintentionally? How will you help us move forward together? How will you do that not just today but next week and every week from now on?

Celebrate women every chance you get. Make it a daily routine. Make it historical. Make it infectious.
