Red Ajah's International Women's Week - Guess Who game!

[Marta Sedai]

Hello everyone and welcome!!!

 

Please, take your seats, pens and papers, and get ready for this awesome game who everyone loves!

 

Last year I was the host too, and I loved it! The winner was Adella!

This year, since Red Ajah's International Women's Week lasts a bit longer, the quiz will be much more fun, and we will have more time to do it properly!

The rules are quite simple and go like this:

 

In this game I will be posting a couple of quotes every two days, and you will be given a list of women who might have said it. Your job will be to send me a PM and tell me who do you think said what, and I will be announcing the winner every two days, and when the Event ends, the person with most wins, second and third place.

You can also send me quotes you like by PM if you want me to use them in this game.

 

I will start off with some of my favorites quotes from last year, just so you can warm up! Try not to google the quotes, because it is more fun to guess!
