Kylie Minogue, Adele, Alicia Keys & More Show Support For International Women’s Day
This International Women’s Day (March 8), the organizers behind the Women’s March on Washington called for “A Day Without a Woman.” Women were encouraged to either take the day off; spend money only at small, women and minority-owned businesses; and wear the color red.
Among those spreading the word were musicians — all female so far, with the exception of Lin-Manuel Miranda. Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Hayley Williams of Paramore and Lizzo all showed support on social media. Adele quoted Charlotte Whitton, the first female mayor of a major Canadian city: “Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.”
