On International Women’s Day, we honor female luminaries and rabble-rousers who shape our lives and our global history.

Suffragettes in many countries fought for equality; thanks to them, women now have the right to vote. When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat — and her dignity, she motivated millions to join the fight for civil rights. Because Malala stood up to the Taliban, more girls around the world can go to school today.

This Women’s Day, we’re asking you to nominate a woman who inspires you to take a stand.

Tell us why she motivates you in a short essay, photo, illustration or video — however you can best express your admiration.

She could be a historic activist or cultural icon. She could be a trailblazer in your own life: your mother, daughter, teacher or friend.

We’ll feature our favorite submissions here on the Malala Fund blog leading up to Women’s Day on Wedne‌sday, Ma‌rch 8.
