Celeb Reactions International Womens Day

March 8 is a historic day, especially in 2017. Not only does it mark International Women's Day, but it's also the first official "Day Without Women" women's strike. In addition to celebrating the achievements of women, some are taking the day off work to raise awareness about women's contributions to the workforce.

While everyone is observing the day differently, celebrities are overwhelmingly expressing their support for International Women's Day on their various social media accounts. Their posts include quotes, articles, and simple messages of support. Here are some of the ways they're highlighting all that women have accomplished.

"Know the power of women in leadership." HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY. ✊?✊?✊?✊?✊?power to those women today who are taking part in "A Day without a Woman." Women are 57% of the world's population. There is no country that does not need us. No child who exists in this world without us. We have power and value equal to men. We deserve to have equal rights, equal pay, equal opportunities for education and a voice that is listened to when we speak. We are your mother, grandmother, sister, auntie, peer, coworker, boss, wife, lover, and friend. We demand respect. Support us. #internationalwomensday
