International Women's Day
Megan Herbert
International Women’s Day is a global celebration of women’s achievements in the social, economic, cultural and political fields. It is also a day for recognising gender inequality and striving for positive change. Megan Herbert’s cartoon for International Women’s Day 2023 draws on her personal life. It describes the experience many women have of being pulled in all directions – and the difficulty in finding time to take part in a special event, even one meant for them.
