Overview

Beautifully Said is a female-forward collection of 21 themed chapters of quotes and stories from brilliant, brave, captivating women and girls.

Looking for a quote to inspire your daughter, sister, mother, teammate, or friend? Or are you a hand lettering artist looking for poignant subject matter? Beautifully Said is a personal inspiration gallery, organized by topic, spotlighting women and girls who believe, build, champion, coach, compete, design, discover, entertain, explore, give, heal, inspire, invent, laugh, lead, love, overcome, pioneer, preserve, teach, and write.

The company is solving a quote supply problem uncovered through research—that less than 15% of the millions of quotes shared every day are by women and girls. Most quotes are unsourced, many are misattributed. Very often, quotes shared are written or said by the same visible few. Working with female writers, researchers, designers and craftspeople, Quotabelle is adding missing voices back into history and ensuring remarkable women and girls aren’t overlooked going forward. Quotabelle has published two anthologies of female wisdom: Beautifully Said and Grit & Grace.Pauline Weger scouts creative ways to share great ideas & true stories. She particularly loves pairing inspiring words with beautiful fonts, hand lettering, stylish design, and brilliant washes of color. Pauline grew up in a small coastal town north of Boston. She and her husband now live in Northern Virginia. Mom to two daughters, she stepped away from the corporate world to become a social entrepreneur who spends her days making sure more female role models emerge.Alicia Williamson, PhD is a wayfaring academic who loves to use her keyboard for good.
