International Women’s Day Advice and Inspiration From the Older Generation

Metro.co.uk reports that a dozen women aged 82 and 93 and living in senior care communities across the United Kingdom shared what they think young women today should know in a touching video to mark International Women's Day. Most of the ladies said their younger counterparts should trust themselves and strive to reach their goals. Among them was 91-year-old Margaret Crowther, who said: "Make sure you know what you want to do, and be determined to do it." The senior women also advised compassion and humanity, with 87-year-old Rita Atkinson saying she would like to see the women of today "be truthful, and most of all, always to be kind and understanding." The video was made by Care UK, one of the U.K.'s biggest providers of residential care for older men and women. International Women's Day has been marked since 1911.
