2. Emma Watson Takes a Year Away From Acting to Support Feminism

The new face of feminism (and...dare I say, feminine feminism?) has announced to the public that she'll be taking a year off of acting to concentrate on promoting the feminist cause. Are you as excited as I am to see what she does next??

3. Fairy GodBoss - A New Website For Women in the Workforce.

Boston.com

In 2015, two remarkable women founded FairyGodBoss.com, aka the Yelp of U.S. Corporations for women. The site offers reviews on over 7,000 businesses in the United States, ranking companies on female centered issues such as amount of paid maternity leave, salaries, benefits, and gender equality. The best part? It's all free!                          

4. Australian Aboriginal Started Painting in her 90's, Has First Exhibit at 105

Proving you're never too old to start a new hobby, this Australian Aboriginal badass lady is changing the name of the art game with her intricate designs that completely disrupt the traditional themes of aboriginal art.
