To mark the 100th International Women's Day on March 8th, the Guardian newspaper compiled a list of 100 inspiring women. It is not a power or wealth list but instead it's about an inspirational group of women whose influence will last. Guardian readers provided more than 3,000 suggestions from which the 100 were picked in various categories – activists & campaigners; art, music, film & fashion; business & trade unions; law; politics; science & medicine; sport & adventure; technology; television; writing and academia.

Maya Angelou - author
