Illustrated inspirational quotes for International Women’s Day

Right back at the beginning of this blog I created a series of illustrated quotes for international women’s day. To this day it remains one of my favourite posts and it inspired my first postcard collection. That post did so much to inspire me over the last few years, that I wanted to add to the series for this international women’s day with some more quotes from women I admire on feminism, being a woman, and empowering each other.

 

“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time.” – Angela Davis

 

“Women don’t need to find a voice, they have a voice, they need to feel empowered to use it and people need to be encouraged to listen” – Meghan Markle

 

“I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves” – Mary Wollstonecraft

 

“I have chosen to no longer be apologetic for my femaleness and my femininity. And I want to be respected in all of my femaleness because I deserve to be.” – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

 

“we all move forward when

we recognize how resilient

and striking the women

around us are” – Rupi Kaur

 

I originally shared a few of these illustrations on my instagram, where I post most of my portraits and quote inspired pieces.
