Throughout history women have been the creators of greatness, they have been the ones to spur wars, women have also redefined rules and more times than not have brought men to their knees. All women; the famous and infamous, wealthy and destitute, open-minded and genius - all these women have shaped the world we know. They have dared us to act, think and do. And for that we celebrate them!
