Here's a beautiful ritual for any time you wish to pay homage to women in recognition of their contributions to the world.

Before the ritual, sit as you burn cypress incense or diffuse cypress essential oil. Write about women who have made a difference in the world and in your life. Show gratitude by making a donation in their honor or some gesture of activism.
Freshen your ancestral altar and adorn with goddess statues and pictures of women you wish to honor. You can include Grandma's pearl necklace, a handkerchief that belonged to Auntie Mae, or anything you like.
When you are ready, carve the symbol for "woman" into the candle. Light the candle and say:

To those who suffer, bring relief, alleviate their pain and grief. Satisfy all those in need, honor them by word and deed."

Meditate while staring into the flame of the candle. Think about how life has been made better by the women you are honoring. Take the warmth of the flame into your heart as you give thanks for the advances they pioneered.
Allow the candle to burn all the way down. When done, do something special for yourself or for a woman you love and respect.
