Fang Zhaoling was a leading figure among women artists in 20th-century China. Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, she travelled and lived in many different places, including Oxford, and exhibited her paintings widely in the United States, Europe and East Asia. She continued to work as a well-established artist into her eighties.

It’s okay to be a stay-at-home-mom/housewife. It’s okay to work full time. It’s okay to not want kids or to not want to get married. It’s okay be “girly” and love the color pink and wear dresses. It’s okay to not like those things. It’s okay to be cool with showing off your body, no matter what kind of body you have. It’s okay to be more conservative and to prefer to cover yourself up. It’s okay to be LGBT+. ITS OKAY TO USE THE BATHROOM THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE USING AND THAT BEST FITS YOUR INDIVIDUAL GENDER THAT ONLY YOU GET TO DECIDE! What’s not okay is to judge a woman for the way she lives her life and the way she shows her own femininity. It’s international Women’s Day and I support All Women and their lifestyles. 👭👭👭👭👭💖

We are women, together we are strong, we are fighters and we are standing with one another.

Here’s to women taking no shit, to not changing themselves for anyone but themselves. Here’s to women who speak up for themselves and for others, and here’s to the women who haven’t yet found their voices. Here’s to women knowing what they want, to the women chasing their dreams, whatever they may be. Here’s to the hairdressers, the engineers, the lawyers, the secretaries, the university students and the high school drop outs. Here’s to the survivors, and the ones that didn’t make it. Here’s to those who are women in a mans body, to those who are transitioning, those who have transitioned, and those that dream of it. Here’s to the girls who like girls, who like boys, who like everyone or no one at all. Here’s to those in burqas and niqabs, headscarves and hair flying free, those with skin the colour of chalk all the way to those with the colour of chocolate. Here’s to every woman, everywhere. Here’s to #InternationalWomensDay. Because if you can look a woman in the eye and tell her she doesn’t deserve as much of the world as you do, you’re wrong.

See the full project.

Since it’s International Women’s Day, I would like to put the spotlight on a very underrated classic Hollywood lady: Hedy Lamarr. Not only was she a famous actress, she was also an inventor who helped invent the system behind Wi-fi and Bluetooth. That’s right: she was not only a beautiful and talented actress, she was also highly intelligent and inventive.  But Hedy was also a strong woman: she was married to a controlling and rich husband and had to disguise herself and flee from her native Austria to get away from him. Afterwards she reinvented herself as a glamorous actress and stunned Hollywood, where she was called ‘the most beautiful woman alive’. 

Yes, they’re sexy, smart, and powerful. They’re also very inspirational and brave as hell. They could probably kick your ass….actually they would kick your ass. Let us take a moment to appreciate these women and women’s wrestling. Although some are no longer with us and others don’t actually “wrestle” they all have a part in making women’s wrestling great. You cannot deny their impact (some more than others) in the WWE and women’s wrestling. Whether you like them or not, they ALL had (and currently have) a role in making wrestling what it is today and what it will be in the future. LOVE AND SUPPORT WOMEN AND WOMEN’S WRESTLING.

💫Happy International Women’s Day!!! ✨ Here’s to women everywhere doing what they want, regardless of identity, colour, size, sexual orientation, YOU ROCK!! Make it a great day gals ❤

Here’s to all the women throughout history who have ruled empires, and raised families. For those who fought to survive, and were looked down upon. For the women whose names we know, and for those we don’t. We will remember.
