Their statements continue to hold power and influence by inspiring us through challenging times, uplifting experiences and everyday moments.

Whether it’s quotes from women leaders, women entrepreneurs, or wise women in general, these powerful words can encourage us to take a stand, forge a path, break the rules, and make a difference in the world.

Read these inspirational quotes by women like Eleanor Roosevelt, Oprah Winfrey, Melinda Gates and others to help raise your spirits and encourage you throughout your day.

Wise words from women can have a unique effect; by speaking to us from their own experiences, women are empowering other women. These quotes share insight and invite understanding through everyday struggles, momentous achievements, and everything in between.
