Women’s rights have come a long way in the last 100 years. And one day, we may no longer need a special day to honor us while trying to raise awareness of gender inequality. But considering the pay gap, workplace harassment, physical abuse and other types of oppression that continue to exist, there’s still a lot of work to be done.
In the meantime, we need to keep fighting, raising awareness, supporting and celebrating one another. In that spirit, we hope our gift guide has given you a lot of great ideas and a little inspiration for walking the walk as a feminist in the 21st century.
Remember, the patriarchy wasn’t built in a day, and there’s still time to smash it if we persist!
