"As we aim to expand our operations, we are so grateful to Anthropologie for selecting She's the First as a partner! Contributions from the 'Philanthropie' platform will help us double down on our work to strengthen girls' support systems and advocate for their rights. We're thrilled that Anthropologie has chosen to express their values in a partnership that uplifts girls and women globally, and we're so excited to partner with them to reach a whole new audience of creative changemakers and expand our impact on girls worldwide."

"Anthropologie celebrates women everyday—our customers, our employees, and the designers both big and small who make our brand one of a kind," said Hillary Super, Chief Executive Officer of Anthropologie. "In our commitment to nurturing the next generation of women leaders, we're thrilled to partner with such an influential organization and to support girls' education from New York to Nepal. It is truly remarkable what the She's the First team has been able to do for women worldwide, and we are thrilled to partner with them to extend their reach across the nation."

Throughout 2021, Anthropologie will highlight She's the First and provide opportunities for members of their community to drive their mission forward. In addition, today, in conjunction with their partnership announcement, Anthropologie has launched their #PowerOfFirsts campaign, where they aim to highlight women who were the first to do something in their family, in hopes to empower their community to recognize their own accomplishments and inspire others to achieve their goals.
