Stars Are Celebrating International Women’s Day With Messages of Empowerment

See who!

International Women’s Day is important for a lot of reasons. In the year of the #MeToo movement and our current political climate, it’s essential that we take the time to recognize not only that women are important but why women are important. We use this day to identify some of our female heroes, to spotlight great contributions women have made to all industries, and to appreciate the women in our lives who make our worlds a better place. 

On this International Women’s Day, we’re excited that so many of our favorite celebrities are discussing this important day and sharing their thoughts with their fans. Here are some of our favorite tweets about Women’s Day from stars (both women and men) who are using the day to reflect and appreciate.
