Today is International Women’s Day, a holiday meant to raises awareness of women’s achievements around the world.

In honor of the day, we’re sharing some of our favorite celebratory tweets from some of our favorite women of Twitter.

A charity auction of Sandra Fluke’s time was closed two days early. It was not due to lack of interest, however — quite the opposite.

Sandra Fluke is welcome at a lot of places, but the RNC doesn’t seem like one of them, so it’s a shock to learn that she’s making an appearance at the event today, even though it is of course in protest of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

The dust has settled on the Sandra Fluke-Rush Limbaugh debacle, and the Georgetown law graduate appears ready to address it again — and in a manner that shows how President Barack Obama is capable of making the country a better place for women, unlike rival Mitt Romney.
