Celebrating 100 Years of International Women's Day

To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day - and the powerful and enduring spirit of women of all ages - we present a video gallery of some amazing older women. They know that chronological age has nothing to do with with enthusiasm for life, with courage and even with being a bit of a brat.



On those days when it's difficult to see the upside, when the sunshine seems out of place, it's time to dig deeper and consider the words of one of our video stars, Sister Mary Buder, an 80 year-old marathon runner:

"...You're are going to have ups and downs, highs and lows, joys and sorrows so go with it. Accept it. It's all in the making of character."

And then there's Barbara Lyon, a charming 89 year-old who teaches yoga and does a mean downward dog at the local seniors' centre.

If you're still in need of inspiration, listen to Dr. Gayle Carson, self-described "Spunky Old Broad" - SOB for short.

She's a recent widow and three-time cancer survivor who has had 12 surgeries - but you'd never know it. She calls herself the 'go-to person' for women over 50 and is happy to share the 'nine secrets to living a regret-free life'. She may even show you some of her kick boxing moves.
And don't forget to celebrate your own accomplishments today and those of other women you know. Here's to the next 100 years!
