#IWD2016: Illustrating Illustrious Women Who Broke Through

International Women’s Day is a time to recognize the tremendous hurdles women have had to overcome, and to renew our own commitment to removing those hurdles and leveling the playing field. As we collectively recognize the countless contributions of women in all walks of life on #IWD2016, I find myself personally inspired by the topic of women who “broke through” throughout history. Women who, in many cases, defied all odds to redefine a woman’s role and, in doing so, helped narrow the gap with their male counterparts. With amazing illustrations by Ketchum’s Creative Strategist Jeff Lewonczyk, we’ve identified some of these women and their groundbreaking achievements (click to tweet).
