That fervor was prevalent today as women on Twitter came together using hashtags like #InternationalWomensDay and #WomensHistoryMonth to highlight the strength, achievements and importance of women and girls. 

UN Women held its "Time is Now" event in observance of International Women's Day. Speakers included actress Reese Witherspoon, a dominant force behind the #TimesUp movement, and playwright and actress Danai Gurira, whose Love Our Girls program advocates for girls' rights, education and gender equality.
