International Women's Day, on the 8th of March, has expanded into a weekend. This week many International Women's Day events have got started to celebrate the 8th and women. So we are jumping on the bandwagon in anticipation of Saturday. This Friday we are talking about the women who inspire us and deserve to be celebrated on International Women's Day...

1. The most inspiring woman I know is my Grandmother Lucille. She is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I am a very lazy person and have just hit 30 but she reminds me to get up and do not something but everything! My grandmother is in her eighties and a couple of years she travelled to 3 different countries in one year. Whenever I call to talk to her she is out, either doing charitable work with her local women's group at the church or line dancing. She is off to Canada this year to visit her great grandchildren for the first time and has promised that I can have her Diaries, which she has written every day for decades now, but only if I turn it into a film about her life. Which she promises me would be very good, I completely agree with her! Squeamish Nicola

2. I'm fortunate in that I could name my mum, my sister, my aunt, all the women who write for this site as inspiring women I know. But let's not go down personal anecdote road. Instead I will pick from women you might, or should all know with a Wikipedia page. I'm a big fan of women who just do it, and to heck with the constraints of society. They have a passion for something and they go for it. I think this is hard even now to do and it's hard in all fields but I have always had the impression - considering how few women have their scientific achievements consistently lauded throughout time that the world has a hard time recognising female scientists. So here's a list of women in scienceI admire. Squeamish Kate

3. Without wanting to make anyone vomit, I can't possibly name anyone other than my mother. As my mum, she raised me and my sister to take the road less travelled, to follow our dreams and passions rather than take the easy route of uni, traditional jobs, and pension schemes. As a professional, she has had an interesting and varied working life, and had shattered a couple of glass ceilings before she'd even left her teens, despite being groomed to be a wife. At finishing school, she was taught little more than how to exit an E-Type without flashing her knickers, but two years later she was running the marketing department of one of the UK's biggest publishing houses. And as a woman she is great company, pant-wettingly funny, ballsy, and adventurous. With such an inspiring woman so close to home, why would I look further afield? F1Kate
