New Delhi: In yet another powerful doodle, Google has featured women in various fields of study, from science to music, for its International Women's Day special edition on its homepage.
The latest doodle shows sketches of women, in roles which are still considered unconventional for them to pursue, within the Google alphabets. From being a scientist, musician, astronaut, chef, athlete, teacher, and writer, it represents the modern-day women.
The doodle's caption reads: Happy International Women's Day!
In 2013 Google's Women's Day doodle featured hand-drawn faces of 27 women from around the world and Google added real women and some Zap Mama music to create its Women's Day 2014 video doodle.
In 2012 International Women's Day coincided with Holi and coincidentally the Women's Day doodle had a Holi-like feel about it.
In 2011, the 100th anniversary of the event, Google had posted an interactive Google Map inviting users to join tens of thousands people on bridges all over the world to show support for women's causes.
Google has doodled the International Women's Day on seven previous occasions. First in 2005, then consecutively every year from 2009 to 2015.
International Women's Day was first celebrated on March 18, 1911 in four European countries - Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. The United Nations began officially supporting and sponsoring the event since 1975, the year that was designated as International Women's Year.
