The world’s most-used search engine Google has created a doodle marking this year’s International Women’s Day. The doodle – featuring 12 female artists with stories about the female experience – can be found above the search box on the homepage of Google on Thursday, March 8. According to Google: “Each story represents a moment, person, or event that has impacted their lives as women. While each artist tells a unique story, the themes are universal, reminding us of how much we often have in common.”
