From trailblazing icons to personal heroines quietly making a difference, our writers celebrate inspirational women #IWD2023
1. Olena Zelenska
Before the war started, Zelenska trained as an architect and had become a renowned, award-winning script writer.
She has been dignified and demanding, asking for more weapons while calling out the atrocities happening to Ukraine’s children

2. Dame Vivienne Westwood
Westwood was rarely thought — or spoken — of as a “female designer”, the way most women working in fashion are.
She is an industry titan who changed not only the way people dressed but the society she lived in with the impact she had on their wardrobes

3. Fran Kirby
The strength of a person — of a woman — is often revealed in the moments when they are at their most vulnerable.
It is that bravery and vulnerability that makes Fran Kirby, the Chelsea and England forward, the player and person she is

4. Judy Fraser
I’ve only met Judy Fraser once, and she’ll probably be appalled to be named here, but the simple fact is that right now she’s one of the most important people in my life.
Hundreds of cancer sufferers feel the same

5. The Afghan girl
We don’t know her real name, only that she is 18 and wants to study and be a painter.
On a bitterly cold Christmas morning, she stood alone, holding up a homemade placard in front of Taliban guards blocking the gate to Kabul University

6. Laura Kuenssberg
In Westminster there are no prizes for being kind, but Laura is kind anyway.
When Laura tweeted that she was leaving her role as BBC political editor, I was struck to see nearly every young journalist in Westminster replying to thank her for her support

7. Geneen Roth
Women, Food and God. I had never heard of its author, an American called Geneen Roth. Yet it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Roth and her book changed my life.
She is nothing short of a liberator

8. Alison Standbridge
A mother of two from south London who, while working full-time in an insurance broker’s office, set up the wonderful charity Paws2Rescue, which saves horrifically abused, injured and starving dogs from the streets of Romania (it rescues horses too)
