Happy International Women's Day, you glorious human. To celebrate this annual day of female empowerment, lesbian and bisexual celebs, politicans and influencers have taken to social media, sharing quotes, clips and personal messages.

8. Amelia-Eve Warden, CEO of P&C PR
"It's never been harder to feel accepted and recognised than it is now. Women have been placed into communities, careers and categories of what society feels is right for decades, and until now, we have pushed these boundaries; destroyed them even. We have the ability to merge something so simple into something beautiful. If you ever feel that you need to explain who you are and what you are doing, we are women, and that is enough."
9. Stella Duffy, writer and theatremaker
#IWD2017 thinking how majority @FunPalaces Makers are women. Living unequal lives and, regardless,creating space for others to make anyway.
