In today’s International Women’s Day celebration (March 8, 2021) with the theme “Women’s Firsts” resonates with all the works of women from the past, present, and future. Google pays homage to females’ fists; a lot of big raising hands that symbolize opened doors for generations of women.

“Today’s Doodle celebrates the women around the world who overcame the obstacles of their time to create a lasting legacy,” Google wrote.

Google’s latest doodle video focuses on the hands of women “who have challenged the status quo and paved the way in education, civil rights, science, art, and so much more.”

Who created today’s Google doodle?

Today’s Google doodle was illustrated by Helene Leroux, a French doodler from San Francisco.

Based on Google’s interview with Leroux, said she was the first woman who pursued art and created her luck out of her drawings. “When I started, it was a field dominated by men, and I’m proud to see so many women animators and directors now,” a statement she shared from Google.

She has chosen “close-up shots” of women’s hands as her subject because she had seen the important role of the live-action movies in particular.

Leroux’s message quoted from Google said, “I hope the Doodle will inspire women to pursue what they want in life, keep fighting for their rights, and pass on the message to future generations. There are more and more fields and opportunities for everyone out there; women should feel empowered to pursue what they have a passion for.”
