Their work has not only shaped culture but has also inspired generations of artists, designers and thinkers to follow in their footsteps.

Each of these women has left a lasting mark on their field. This may be through revolutionary buildings, boundary-pushing fashion, iconic artworks or groundbreaking digital designs.
