March 8th is International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Today is an important day to celebrate women’s achievements; educate and awareness raise about women’s equality; call for positive change advancing women; lobby for accelerated gender parity and fundraise for women-focused charities.

I think it is so important to celebrate International Women’s Day, and something I love to teach my daughter about.

100 Lives to Inspire You: Amazing Women

To celebrate International Women’s Day today I am delighted to share a new book from Little Tiger Group. They have recently published a beautiful book which helps you discover the stories of 100 extraordinary women of our time.
