Create, prevail, change the world...like a GIRL! This celebration of international girl power honours a multitude of women who made a difference. 

Once upon a time, "like a girl" was an insult. Not anymore! In every walk of life, girls are demonstrating their creativity, perseverance, and strength. From artist Frida Kahlo and activist Malala Yousafzai to award-winning architect Zaha Hadid and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and founder of the Green Belt Movement Wangari Maathai, the 24 women profiled here took risks, broke barriers, and transformed the world. 

This tribute to girl power will inspire young women everywhere.
