Whether it's a political revolutionary or our own trailblazing mothers, we all have at least one female figure to look up to. So this International Women's Day in 2020, from us here at MNHQ, these are the women who have inspired us.

We picked (amongst others) JK Rowling, Phillis Wheatley and Marie Colvin... Who inspires you?
