Guardian 100 Women

Guardian 100 women is the theme adopted by the UK’s Guardian newspaper to mark the centenary year of International Women’s Day on March 8, 2011.
As the name implies, the idea is to draw up a list of the top 100 women in the world who have the ability to inspire other women and to act as role models for them.
History is full of such inspirational stories of women who led exemplary lives. They had to make difficult choices yet they endured not only to claim their fair share of public and private life but to promote the rights of other women.
It is hard to imagine women’s political lives in the absence of Emily Pankhurst’s women’s suffrage movement in the nineteenth century, or that of Mother Teresa’s work to overcome poverty and distress for global peace. Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie remains a role model for setting a new bar for female academic and scientific achievement.
Women like them exist today and inspire us. Some of them inspire us in our personal and business lives, and some in our struggle for social justice to make this world a better place in which to live.
International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on 8 March to recognise women’s struggles, achievements and the future opportunities that await the next generation of women.
Commonwealth Day 2011 will be celebrated a week after International Women’s Day and is based on the theme Women as Agents of Change. It means that women and girls are agents of social, economic and political change and by investing in them, we can accelerate progress.
