The present yearly International Women’s Day Doodle takes an journey through a progression of firsts in ladies’ history—featuring female pioneers who have challenged things up and made ready in education, social equality, science, art, and so much more.

The video Doodle pays homage to these (s)heroes by portraying the hands that have opened the entryways for generations of ladies.

While a few firsts accomplish something fabulously new, others are accepting an recognition or right that is long overdue.

Suffragists, academics, gold medalists, entrepreneurs and then some—the present Doodle celebrates the ladies around the planet who overcame the obstacles of their chance to make an enduring legacy.

These firsts remain on the shoulders of countless others—ladies who established the framework, previously, for the present ways to be at long last opened and glass ceilings broken.

In honor of the trailblazers of the past, present, and future—Happy International Women’s Day!
