Google Doodle Changes The Vision Of International Women's Day

For commemorating the movement of women's rights we celebrate International Women's Day every year on Mar. 8. In 2017, our internet giant Google celebrates the day by showcasing thirteen remarkable women's story on its homepage.

History shows us that women's day was 1st observed in NY in 1909, which was organized by socialist party of America, for demanding fair pay, better working condition and the right to vote. So it's known as Int. working women's day. In 1917, after getting right to vote Soviet Russia announced Mar. 8, as a national holiday.

Google is a user-friendly helpful tool for online searches. There is a funny quote "Google is a woman, has an answer for everything." Doodle is the new modified feature of Google logo. They are usually seen on special holidays, memorable events in form of a story, game, slideshow, quotes etc.

According to Google, on this International Women's day, Google has decided to make us look back to celebrate some extraordinary female role who pioneered the way where we are today. Following their passion & profession, they aligned themselves from the background of countries. The main feature is Google took the opportunity to exhibit those women's passion in one slide show, though they had appeared individually before in their own countries.

According to Thesun, slideshow doodle features a little girl whose grandma giving her the best bed-time story featuring 13 best historical heroines. Then the girl's imagination makes us travel the whole world.

One by one we get- Ida wells the Mississippi-born African-American journalist,  Egypt's 1st female pilot Lotfia El Nadi, Mexican painter- Frida Kahlo, Lina Do Bardi Italian-born Brazilian architect, Olga Skorokhodova- soviet scientist, South African singer Miriam Makeba. The proud list also has astronaut Sally Ride, Turkish archaeologist Halet Cambel, Ada Lovelace- world's 1st computer programmer, Rukmini Devi- Indian dancer and choreographer, Cecilia Grierson-1st argentine women who got a medical degree, Korean 1st female lawyer and judge Lee Tai-young, lastly Suzzane Leng Len- French tennis champion.

Featuring these personalities Google Doodle has given another level of respect to women on 2017, through compensating the theme of women's day. Be bold for change.
