I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.
On this day 45 years ago, I appeared on television as Wonder Woman for the very first time. I am honored to be a part of this legacy and everything that it represents, and so thrilled to celebrate the power of women on such an auspicious day! 💫💫💫

I hope we can get to a point where the gender of scientists doesn't lead the headlines. Yes, women do science. They also win Nobel Prizes!!!!! #WomenInSTEM

Love these ideas—especially the one about spotlighting more women who are quietly thriving in tech. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve talked with an amazing young coder in the past year and thought: I wish more girls could hear her story. m-gat.es/2DTTI1S
