Google doodles to celebrate International Women’s Day
Just like every special occasion, Google is celebrating International Women’s Day with a Google Doodle.
This year, Google released an animated video designed by Google’s Doodle Art Director, Thoka Maer, to represent women in different roles and professions.
“Today’s annual International Women’s Day Doodle is an animated slideshow that transports us around the world to give a glimpse into the everyday lives of women across different cultures,” Google says.
“From a mother working from home to a motorcycle mechanic teaching her skills to the next generation, each illustration depicted in today’s Doodle is connected by the common thread of how women show up for themselves, their families, and their communities.”
