International Women’s Day on March 8 is not only an occasion to recognize the achievements of women worldwide, but also to highlight the challenges and inequalities that still exist. It is an opportunity to share stories of extraordinary women who are often overshadowed by history.

Fantastic women – heroines of history
“Fantastic Women” goes one step further and sheds light on even more extraordinary personalities.
