A very happy International Women’s Day (and Women’s History Month) to me and all those who observe! Today, we take a moment to celebrate our many achievements and to bring attention to women’s rights issues, which include (but are hardly limited to) gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. In honor of this year’s big day, today’s new-arrivals story will be dedicated to both brands and products that support, uplift, and champion women with every purchase, from slogan tees to jewelry to slippers, sweatshirts, and more. If you’re going to be shopping anyway, it’s worth considering these buys before others—helping out women across the globe while you do so.
In addition to my little roundup, my colleague Jasmine took the liberty of highlighting the best and buzziest female-founded brands out there right now, so be sure to head straight there when you’re done. For now, shop my finds below.
