Since time immemorial, women have played several important roles in life-- from being a loving daughter to a dotting wife and mother; and some are even inspiring working professionals! And so, to honour women, each year International Women's Day is celebrated on March 8 every year, as designated by the United Nations in 1997. It is a day not only to celebrate women and womanhood, but also to acknowledge how far women have come over the years in terms of gender equality, women's rights, and more. The International Women’s Day also aims to support women across the world to achieve more in life.

And so, to help you wish the wonderful women in your life on this special day, here we list some wishes, messages and quotes to share with your loved ones:
