For those of you that have lived under a rock, or don't pay attention to the news, last Thursday Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic party's presidential nomination. Now she's a pretty contentious topic, which is fine, but regardless of how you feel about her, she made history for being the first woman in history to accept a party's nomination for running for president. It's women like her and so many more that inspire people of all ages. Here are some of my favorite inspirational quotes about women.
