Tomorrow, March 8th is International Women’s Day and Google has a special Google logo, aka Google Doodle, for the day. The logo is going live 12 hours early on all Google properties around the world, in order to make sure those who don’t go to Google on Saturday see it the day before.
The Doodle is heavily animated and features a 90-second video showing how women have historically been underrepresented in almost all fields. Here is that video.
It is interesting Google is posting this because just the other day a study came out showing only 17% of Google Doodles in the past two years had women in them. Team lead Ryan Germick agreed with the study, saying “We’ve been working to fix the imbalance in our doodles.”
In this Doodle Google has featured over 100 women, they include:
