International Women\u2019s Day is an event marked around the world \u2013 in the news, all over social media and in most schools. And so it should be.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Accelerating equality, raising awareness around discrimination, and helping women feel safe and celebrated is something we should all be doing more of.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s IWD theme is about embracing equity and recognising women\u2019s different circumstances. So, here we look at some of the UK\u2019s most impressive women of the last ten years (there are so many, we had to narrow it down!).<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth II<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Whether or not you\u2019re a royalist, you\u2019ve got to admire a woman who worked her socks off for seventy-odd years and well into her nineties. Her death left many people around the world mourning the loss of a grandmother figure.<\/p>\n

No matter what your view of the royals, the Queen is, and always will be, an essential part of UK history.<\/p>\n

Beth Mead<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

From Her Majesty the Queen to the queen of the football pitch \u2013 Beth Mead. The first ever female footballer to be crowned the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Beth was a huge part of the Lionesses\u2019 success in Euro 2022 and the tournament\u2019s top scorer.<\/p>\n

The Arsenal player was also awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List and is a true inspiration to girls wanting to become professional footballers.<\/p>\n

Baroness Doreen Lawrence <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Since losing her son Stephen in one of the UK\u2019s most high-profile racially motivated murders back in 1993, Baroness Lawrence has dedicated her life to campaigning for victims of racist crimes and fighting for police reform.<\/p>\n

Baroness Lawrence has been at the forefront of many initiatives to improve race relations and has also taken part in important reviews into issues like the effect of Covid-19 on black and minority ethnic communities. She was awarded an OBE in 1993 and made a life peer in 2013 for her tireless work.<\/p>\n
