From Osaka, Japan to Sao Paulo, Brazil, 12 female artists tell their stories on Women's Day
To celebrate International Women's Day, Google Doodle treated the visitors with illustrations from 12 different female artists from 12 countries in the world, telling their stories.
The doodle for Women's Day is a global one ie it will be same across all the versions of Google homepage everywhere in the world.
Talking about the special doodle, Lydia Nichols and Alyssa Winans - Project Leads for IWD 2018 - said in a statement, "For today’s global, interactive Doodle, we reached out to 12 female artists of all backgrounds to share their personal stories in a series of visual narratives. Specifically, 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. We hope that the combined power of words and images help bring these stories to life in a way that invokes feelings of understanding, empathy, and spirit of the day."
Here are the 12 artists who used their imagination to tell their stories.
1. Anna Haifisch from Leipzig, Germany created a story titled 'Nov 1989'
2. Chihiro Takeuchi from Osaka, Japan made a story titled 'Ages and Stages'

"This project has been an incredible journey for us, and we’ve been moved by the candor, intimacy, and bravery of our contributors’ stories. Translating these works across 80+ languages and sharing them across a global audience means so much to us, and we hope that readers will go about their day feeling as inspired as we do," said the project heads.
