Today’s doodle celebrates the International Women’s Day, a worldwide event that recognizes the achievements and efforts of women in all spheres of life. This day, which was first formally acknowledged by the UN in 1975, honors the work that still needs to be done while also highlighting the advancements made in the direction of gender equality.
This year’s Doodle shines a spotlight on trailblazing women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)—visionaries who have pushed the boundaries of knowledge. From pioneering space exploration to uncovering ancient civilizations and making revolutionary scientific breakthroughs, these women have left an undeniable mark on history. Their innovations in physics, chemistry, and biology have reshaped our understanding of the world.
Despite these achievements, there are still gender gaps in STEM. Although they presently only make up 29% of the STEM workforce worldwide, the percentage is steadily increasing. Future generations are still motivated by their contributions to overcome barriers to achieve greater things.
International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate progress, recognize challenges, and honor the countless women whose efforts have shaped our world. Let’s continue to uplift and empower women in all fields—because when women thrive, society flourishes.
Happy International Women’s Day 2025!
