It’s the day when we celebrate women, big or small, but who deserves the title as the most inspirational woman of all time?
Today marks International Women’s Day 2017, when the world celebrates female achievement and highlights the plight of global women’s issues.
Unsurprisingly, a recent UK poll revealed 48% of women believe their mothers are the most inspiring woman they know.
