While everyday of the year is the perfect day to champion the rights and achievements of women and girls around the world, International Women’s Day is the designated global day to bring women to the centre of the world stage and showcase the best we have to offer.

From scientists inventing life saving medicines and actresses breaking the glass ceiling and fighting for pay parity on both the silver and small screen, through to dedicated mums juggling the demands of several children and athletes dazzling the world in typically male dominated sports, IWD 2023 is the perfect day to celebrate each and every woman for both her accomplishments so far and her potential to continue to succeed.That’s why, for this International Women’s Day, we’ve picked out some of our favourite girl power movies to help get into the spirit of the occasion - all while proving that no matter what your dream may be, your gender should not hold you back.

Legally Blonde Although originally a comedy in it’s own right, Legally Blonde proved to be far more of an inspirational and feminist movie that taught us that appearances aren’t everything and that with perseverance and a different perspective, success is something achievable to all women.The movie follows the life of Elle Woods, a plucky blonde sorority girl who studies her way into Harvard Law in order to win back her boyfriend.

However along the way, Elle finds out a lot more about herself, proves herself to be a formidable lawyer and even fends off sexual harassment from her professor in the process.
