Emma Watson honored female heroes by leaving feminist books at their memorials

What a wonderful way to celebrate women.

Yesterday, the world celebrated International Women's Day. In honor of IWD, Emma Watson announced via her Twitter that she and the international band of feminist book fairies would be hiding feminist books throughout their respective cities.

Decked out in red, Watson took to the streets of New York to share some feminist wisdom.

To honor the women who have gone before, Watson left books at the memorials of female heroes, like Harriet Tubman, Joan of Arc and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Watson's book sharing project was a beautiful tribute to great women of the past. It was also a wonderful way to unite women in the present and share wisdom with feminists of the future.
