For SixContest #48, in honor of Women’s History Month, we asked you to craft Six-Word Tributes to an Inspirational Women. The influx of responses on our site and social media were poignant and proud, honoring the women who have shaped your lives and our world. While many of these women have made historic contributions, just as many have touched your lives in private yet profound ways.

Here are some of our favorites:

6. My daughter-in-law. Son hit the jackpot. —outlanderfortyfour

5. Elevated and celebrated. Maya. Poet. Queen. —Stephanie K. (via Facebook)

4. Harper Lee, for giving us Atticus. —Solstice22

3. Tina Fey. Because women are funny. —@DreadfullyBusy (via Twitter)

2. Be a good ancestor, Mama said. —@mamabearwrites (via Twitter)

And our favorite Six-Word Tribute to an Inspirational Woman:

1. My Grandmother proudly wore combat boots. —Lizasighs
