25 Iconic Posts for International Women’s Day

A woman in the elevator just complimented me on my hair and then I complimented her on her shoes. My 5-year-old whispers, “Why are you saying nice things to each other?” The woman turns to her and says, “Because we’re women and it’s our job to hold each other up.”

Damn straight.

My husband and I called my sweet, 85-year-old grandma to tell her I got a new job.

My grandma is fierce.

Cleaning out my closet, I came across this gown and remembered the little girls who sent me a letter and asked me to wear something sparkly for a talk I gave at NASA so they could believe that scientists could also be sparkly. pic.twitter.com/xOcZgkbiRg
