Womens History Month

Womens History Month

As a company that focuses on giving women the door to luxury independent beauty we love to celebrate women's history month. During the month of March national women's history is all about the celebration of women, the history of women, women's rights and the achievements of women.

Starting with the Women In Russia protesting and striking and the suffragettes, gender equality has become something of the present. Strong women like Rosa Parks has massive change for black history and american history because of her decision to not stand up on a bus, and because of her decision it has changed so many things. It has given other women the strength to fight for what they believe in. In the UK the first woman prime minister was Margaret Thatcher in 1979 (despite your thoughts on her) she was able to become a Primer Minister because of women's contributions to history. This is why international women's day, national women's history week and womens history month is so important.

For women's history month we thought we highlight our list of brands that have been founded by women.
