After the prestigious Nobel Prize 2019 announcement, here comes another important global listing that names the world’s 100 influential and inspiring women.

That’s ‘BBC 100 Women’!

BBC is back with its ‘BBC 100 women 2019’ list that has the names of influential women of 2019 from different parts of the world.

This time, the common voice coming from them is ‘what would the future look like if it were driven by women’, says BBC.

“From climate change activist Greta Thunberg, to trans woman Nisha Ayub who was put into a male prison aged 21, many on the list are driving change on behalf of women everywhere. They give us their vision of what life could look like in 2030,” it said in a statement.
