Friday, March 8 was International Women’s Day, marking the achievements of women and serving as a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

This year’s theme is Inspire Inclusion—a message exemplified by McGill’s female leaders. At the moment, 10 of McGill’s 14 deans are women, including our own Acting Dean Valérie Orsat.

The McGill Reporter shared their thoughts on the women who inspire them, the progress that’s been made, and the barriers that have yet to be broken.
