"On January 21, 2017, over 5 million people in 673 cities around the globe gathered in solidarity for the Women's March, carrying signs that shone with unwavering hope and determination and demanded the protection of women's rights, opposed the newly inaugurated U.S. president, and championed equality and justice for all. Why We March presents more than 300 of the most powerful, uplifting, clever, and creative signs from these marches. 'Nasty Women Unite.' 'Make America Think Again.' 'Build Bridges, Not Walls.' 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fundamental Rights.' 'Love Trumps Hate.' 'A Woman's Place Is in the Resistance.' These images--featuring messages about reproductive rights and cabinet picks, immigration and police violence, climate change and feminism--together paint a striking portrait of resistance, despair, humor, and most of all, hope. This book will serve as a rallying cry for this burgeoning movement, and a valuable and timely encapsulation of an unprecedented moment in political history"--Provided by publisher.… (more)

If you're like me and one of the highlights of the march was the excellent signage, you need this book. All proceeds go to Planned Parenthood. Highly recommended. (

A pictorial history of the January 2017 Women’s Day marches held around the world. A good keepsake for down the road once the worst president in US history is tarred and feathered (one way or the other, he will be) and run outta town. Finished 27.10.19. (

This is a beautiful and moving collection of photographs and quotations from the 2017 Women's March. The photographs focus mainly on the signs and also show the enormous scope and variety of people involved around the world. This is a very inspiring book, and does not distract from the raw emotion, unity and determination of the participants with an over-abundance of words. The pictures truly tell the story. Well done, a brilliant compilation.

**edited because I forgot to mention that there is an impressive listing of international Women's Marches locations from around the world at the back of the book. (

Whether you were there, or you are looking back wondering what kept you from going, these two publications are reminders of the reasons why so many gathered to protest and voice concerns regarding issues such as immigration, civil rights, racial justice and many other, not just concerns of the 2016 Presidential race, but concerns for humanity.
