Politicians, celebrities tweet heartfelt messages on International Women's Day

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman.

If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.

                                                                                                                - Mahatma Gandhi
