A collection of inspiring stories from The Economist, selected for International Women’s Day 2018

Over the years, while women around the world have struggled for equal rights and an equal voice, some of them have been particularly inspiring, as they took a stand to defend a cause or dared to challenge the status quo. Women like Miriam Rodríguez Martínez, a tireless campaigner who sought to find the truth about Mexico's disappeared, and Mary Kom, a five-times world champion boxer, and mother of two, who had to battle against far more than her opponents in the ring. To celebrate International Women’s Day, The Economist have gathered the stories of several of these inspiring women into this special collection.
