What’s more inspiring than a leading lady pursuing her passions and standing up for what she believes in? We don’t think much else. So when we’re in need of a little extra motivation or are just in the mood to fangirl, we have a list of women we look to for inspiration. Gloria, Tina, and Sophia all have fantastic books telling stories of their life journeys — motivating us to speak up, take risks, and travel way more. Emma, Audrey, Beyonce and Jennifer have consistently urged women to feel confident in their bodies, and we love that. To celebrate these women, we rounded up some of our favorite quotes & images.
