Google Doodle celebrated International Women’s Day featuring 13 inspirational quotes by female trendsetters. Scroll down to know more!
Google on Friday celebrated International Women’s Day 2019 with a collection of inspirational quotes in various languages by thirteen international female trendsetters.
The Google Doodle opens to 11 multi-coloured dialogue boxes with the word ‘woman’ written in 11 languages, including Hindi, Bengali and Urdu. Once you click on the doodle, a box pops up featuring different quote until the last thirteenth one.
According to Google, “Connecting to the larger theme of women empowering women, the quotes were also designed by a talented group of female guest artists from around the globe.”
The quote that topped the slide show list is attributed to Dr Mae Jemison, American astronaut and physician. “Never be limited by other people’s limited imagination,” it says.
The slide show also features two quotes from India. One by Indian boxer Mary Kom, which reads, “Do not say you are weak, because you are a woman,” and another by NL Beno Zephine, who became India’s first visually challenged diplomat.
The first time this event was celebrated on March 8 was in 1917. This was after women in Soviet Russia finally gained suffrage. The day was henceforth declared a holiday in Soviet Russia and was eventually adopted as an internal event by the United Nation in 1975.
