There are many heroines in this world! In honor of Women’s History Month, here are six women that have opened the eyes of many in the 21st century:

 

Ashley Graham “I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.”

Malala Yousafzai “One book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world.”

Michelle Obama “When you walk through that open door of opportunity, you don’t slam it shut behind you. You hold it open.”

Emma Watson “Young women are bombarded by images of perfection which NO human being can really achieve.”

Oprah Winfrey “What I know is this, if you do work that you love and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.”

Beyoncé Knowles “Your self-worth is determined by you. You don’t have to depend on someone telling you who you are”
