Sen. Maggie Hassan
@SenatorHassan
They said women couldn't vote. We did it anyway.

They said women couldn't serve in Congress. We did it anyway.

They said a woman could never be VP. We did it anyway.

To all the girls who are told they can’t: do it anyway.

Happy International Women's Day.

Senator Mazie Hirono
@maziehirono
This #InternationalWomensDay , I’m celebrating the progress we’ve made towards representation within the US Senate.

I came to the Senate with a wave of women newly elected to Congress, breaking records and norms. Let's make sure that wave never stops and continue making history.










Tammy Duckworth
@SenDuckworth
I've spent my entire life in male-dominated fields — first in the military, now in Congress. And this International Women's Day, allow me to share what I've learned.

You don't need to be "one of the guys."

You are strong, brave and destined to lead. Own it.


Senator Patty Murray
@PattyMurray
This #InternationalWomensDay, let's recognize all the women who are holding together their families, communities, and our society—in this pandemic and long before.
