International Women’s Day falls on March 8. The theme this year is ‘An equal world is an enabled world’, #EachforEqual.
The theme is especially apt this year as it marks 100 years since the 19th Amendment was passed in the U.S. granting women the right to vote. It coincides with the year the princely state of Travancore became the first region in India to grant women the right to vote.
Making the world more equal every year are women achievers who break glass ceilings in every domain to achieve recognition and success. Harshini Kanhekar fought bias, breaking into the male bastion to become India’s first ever woman fire fighter; Muthayya Vanitha challenged stereotypes when she became the Project Director of Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission of ISRO; G. S. Lakshmi broadened our perceptions when she was picked to be the first woman match referee to oversee a men’s One-Day International (ODI).
Let’s take a look at some women from India who serve as an inspiration.
