Quotes To Inspire You This Women's History Month
Updated by Sarah Baird
For Alicia Walton, founder of She Matters Box , celebrating ** Women’s History Month each March **means not only calling attention to the importance of gender equality and equity across the globe, but pausing to recognize the amazing achievements women make each day—from leading at the office, to coaching tee-ball teams, to volunteering, to speaking out at town hall meetings—in ways both large and small.
“Women's History Month is important because, as women, we have poured so much into the world on so many different levels,” Walton says, “and having a month to celebrate women along with all that we do is a time to also bring awareness to this celebration and its significance to others.”
She Matters is a subscription service that empowers busy women to prioritize themselves by making self-care more accessible, centering the importance of pausing and reflecting in moments of recuperation and self-love. With five full-sized products in every box like candles, teas, mindfulness items, and self-care activities that are easy to integrate into day-to-day life, Walton is committed to helping women recognize the restorative power of personal reflection and time to oneself.
“A few great ways to celebrate Women's History Month are supporting women-owned businesses; spreading awareness by sharing [about Women’s History Month] on social media; and showing appreciation for the women in your life while learning about and supporting current women's issues,” Walton suggests.
