Only 4 women were among the 850 delegates who signed the
@UN Charter, the founding document of the organization.
Bertha Lutz, born #OnThisDay in 1894, was one of them, as well as a Brazilian zoologist, politician, and diplomat!
Today we celebrate #HERstory.

"Solidarity between women can be a powerful force of change."
Today we remember Nawal El Saadawi, born #OnThisDay in 1931. She was an Egyptian feminist writer, activist, and psychiatrist.
Her legacy will continue to inspire women & girls to speak out and support one another.
