International Women’s Day and which women inspire people in Manchester

International Women's Day on March 8 is an annual global holiday celebrating the achievements of women.

It's a day to focus greater attention on women's rights, gender and equality and recognise challenges still faced today.

International Women's Day is a chance to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political successes of inspirational women around the world.

We wanted to find out which women people in Manchester are inspired by the most and why.
