Jeanne Baret, Frida Kahlo, Virginia Wolf, Sabiha Gokcen the ones first appears in my mind. I respect women in history and I believe it was even harder to achieve any success back then.

I'm a music lover (and independent artist), so my biggest inspirations are: Dua Lipa, Rina Sawayama, Camila Cabello, and Zara Larsson :) These women put in the werkkkk

Mothers are some of my greatest inspirations. Her kindness, strength, and resilience have taught me so much, and I am grateful for that.
Rachel Andrew, Jen Simmons, Una Kravets, and I could list more, these women inspired me to learn more and get better at front-end development.

I have SO MANY but started by looking at film and tv so we have an easy shared reference base. I have 3 - Shonda Rhimes, Reese Witherspoon and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Shonda has dominated TV show running since 2006 with such purposeful determination, analysing success on results, keeping true to story, understanding why some of the team need to leave without resentment, actively rewarding team players, and letting poor team players leave without second guessing that decision.
My how I laughed when so many were shocked when Reese's company was sold for $900M who thought she was 'just a rom com actress'. I saw that coming such a long time ago. Reese stayed true to her purpose of supporting other women and got involved in a diverse portfolio of businesses about things she was passionate about with such vision, energy, and positivity. It's no shock she named her production company 'hello sunshine' - that positive, focused, visible energy is a massive part of her success.
Michelle Pfeiffer won the orange county beauty pageant in 1978, her first tv role was as 'the bombshell', her first movie role following Grease 2 (1982) was opposite Al Pacino in Scarface in 1983. Pageant winner to starring opposite one of the best in the industry in less than 5 yrs. She dared to challenge and believe in herself. I think she's super smart in her personal life as she quietly married David E Kelley in 1993 (writer of Ally McBeal and Big Little Lies). I still can't believe at times that those shows were written by a man. Never underestimate the power of a partner / immediate team who understand you. She's made such great choices because she believes in herself so strongly, fearlessly challenges herself, and surrounds herself with a community that know and support her.
I hope perhaps my 3 in this one industry become inspirations for you too. I could do this for so many industries to be honest, but this is my starter for ten. Happy International Women's day everyone.
