International Women’s Day 2023 will be celebrated on March 8th across the globe. It is a time to look at how much we’ve accomplished as women throughout history. As such, I wanted to recognize the empire-builders over just MY lifetime… 

It is no secret that I believe in empowering women and the importance of their roles. That is where the whole concept of “building an empire” came from. 

Because I am a mother of two daughters, the future of women is especially close to my heart. 

But, I want to look back for a moment and acknowledge the incredible trailblazers who made it possible for all of us to succeed… 

3 Empire-Builders for International Women’s Day 2023 

The purpose of this list is to examine the leaps and bounds we’ve had in recent years. For that reason, I thought it would be interesting to showcase ladies that made their mark since I was born

So, on this International Women’s Day 2023, let’s see how far we’ve come…

Billie Jean King wins the “Battle of the Sexes”

On September 20, 1973, tennis player, Billie Jean King, proved once and for all… 

ANYTHING MEN CAN DO, WOMEN CAN DO JUST AS WELL — OR BETTER! 

90 million viewers watched as she beat her male opponent Bobby Riggs in the first tennis exhibition of its kind. 

Nonetheless, women have proven themselves in other areas since…

Sandra Day O’Conner was Sworn into the U.S. Supreme Court

President Ronald Regan made history on July 7, 1981, by swearing in Sandra Day O’Conner into the U.S. Supreme Court

THIS WAS A FIRST IN UNITED STATES HISTORY AND A MAJOR STEP FORWARD IN GENDER EQUALITY. 

O’Conner went on to serve on the highest court in America for 24 years before her retirement in 2006. 

Sally Ride takes Women to Space

I have to appreciate this empire-builder on International Women’s Day 2023 for the simple fact she had a beyond-Earth target….

SALLY RIDE BECAME THE FIRST AMERICAN WOMAN IN SPACE ON JUNE, 18, 1983. 

She beat 1,000 other applicants — men and women — for the NASA program before making her historic flight. 

That’s some out-of-this-world girl power!

Use YOUR Power on International Women’s Day 2023

That sums up my list of three dynamic empire-builders I wanted to honor on International Women’s Day 2023. 

These women made massive contributions that empowered all of us to spread our wings and accomplish our dreams

IT IS OUR DUTY TO USE THAT POWER AND CONTINUE TO PUSH BOUNDARIES. 

It is not just for those women, but for ourselves — and future generations. 

Use your Power and Build an Empire,

Elena Cardone
