Today, March 8, marks International Women's Day, an annual holiday celebrated across the globe to commemorate the centuries of achievements made by women. Today and every day, it is important to respect and honor the obstacles, abuse, neglect and prejudice females have triumphantly overcome — clearing the way to allow for the opportunities and success of women we are able to witness today.
As we celebrate this special day and reflect on social issues of women's rights within society, there are countless positive and uplifting ways to show support and empower the women around us. In addition to advocating for change and equal rights — and showing a little extra love to the females in your life — one way to express your support is to shop female-founded brands.
