For the month of March, Writer’s Relief hosted the March Of Quotable Women on Facebook. We featured quotes from women over time to celebrate Women’s History Month. Each week we posted a quote, along with a creative prompt, to let our friends on Facebook reflect on their writing and join the March Of Quotable Women.

Here are all of the Quotable Women featured by Writer’s Relief:
