🏃‍♀️Watch women’s sports

Media coverage of women’s sports has nearly tripled in the last five years. And tuning in regularly can help further increase coverage. Better yet, go cheer them on in person.

💃 Throw an icons party

Invite friends to dress up as famous women throughout history and play music by female artists. Turn up the volume with this playlist to get the party started.

✍️ Write thank-you notes

Get in the habit of expressing gratitude to the women in your life who’ve made an impact. Bonus points for using cute stationery.  

🎥 Redefine “girl dinner” and a movie

Hit a women-owned restaurant and see a movie by a female filmmaker on opening weekend. Or make your way through all 22 best picture nominees directed by women in Oscar’s history. 

🎉 Celebrate your friends’ work wins

You’ve been to countless bridal and baby showers. Now it’s time to make Work Win Showers a thing. Next time a woman in your life makes a career move, celebrate with drinks, dinner, or a party.

🩺 Go to the doctor

Guilty of skipping a doc appt? Nearly half of the women in the US are too. Make a pact with friends to get at least one checkup on the books. 

⏲️ Volunteer your time

Donations are great too, but consider volunteering for an org that helps women succeed, progress, or heal. 

📚 Start a women-authors-only book club

Women wrote 17 of the 25 best-selling print books of 2023, so it shouldn’t be hard to find material. Need somewhere to start? Here’s our list of 25 books every millennial woman should read.  

Psst…celebrating women is kind of our thing. Let us know when a woman in your life experiences a win — big or small. They just might get a shoutout in the Daily Skimm. (And yes, self-nominations are encouraged.)
