"(HER)STORY" Google Doodle celebrates women trailblazers for International Women's Day 2021

In celebration of the International Women’s Day this year, Google celebrates a series of firsts in women’s history. 

The video Doodle pays homage to many of the (s)heroes by depicting the hands of those “who have challenged the status quo and paved the way in education, civil rights, science, art, and so much more.”

“Suffragists, academics, gold medalists, entrepreneurs and more—today’s Doodle celebrates the women around the world who overcame the obstacles of their time to create a lasting legacy,” said Google. 

“These firsts stand on the shoulders of countless others—women who laid the foundation, in the past, for today’s doors to be finally opened and glass ceilings broken.”

The campaign theme for this year’s International Women's Day celebration is 'Choose To Challenge'.
