    Google Doodle celebrates 13 female pioneers on International Women’s Day 2017

    Today the whole world is celebrating the International Women’s Day and Google is not left out in the celebration.

    The technology giant has created a Google Doodle slideshow on its search engine to celebrate thirteen (13) female pioneers.

    The slideshow features a little girl whose grandmother tells her the best bedtime story ever: the tale of her favourite historical heroine. The little girl then visits 13 remarkable women in her imagination, taking us along on a journey that spans centuries and circles the globe.

    Each of the women has made a mark in her own way pursuing a range of professions and passions. In fact, all of these women have been featured in individual Doodles in the past, but often only in their countries of origin.

    According to Google,

    So today we’re taking the opportunity to share their stories with everyone.

    After all, that’s part of the original spirit of International Women’s Day: giving a voice to women who might not otherwise be heard. It all started in 1908, when a group of women gathered in New York City to demand fair pay, better working conditions, and the right to vote. Their commitment to equality sparked similar events in other countries. In 1911, the first official International Women’s Day rallies were held in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The day is now observed in a myriad of countries and a multitude of ways.

    We hope you enjoy the journey through time and space to learn about these phenomenal women!
