15 Quotes about Women in Honor of Women's History Month
My grandmother was an equal rights supporter and strong
woman. She served Tennessee as the Executive Director of the state’s first
Commission on the Status of Women in the late seventies. One of the relics I
have from that part of her life is a sturdy coffee mug designed by Kenneth
Grooms. Using colorful fonts, Mr. Grooms highlights the word “WOMAN” within more
than 20 quotes about women and feminism. In honor of my CeeCee, Carolyn Pearson
Cowan, I share 15 of these quotes with you.
