Ukrainian drones struck the Armavir Line Production and Dispatch Station in Russia's Krasnodar Krai overnight on 8 March — and NASA satellites confirmed the fire.

Russia deployed 91 firefighters and 26 vehicles. The blaze covered 700 square meters.

Melitta Bentz invented the coffee filter. Remembered a housewife.

Marthe Gautier found Down syndrome's chromosome. Her boss got the Nobel.

Maria Anna Mozart composed masterpieces. Wolfgang got the spotlight, her scores vanished.

Janet Sobel pioneered drip painting. Jackson Pollock copied it.

History loves a genius. It just forgot to mention she was a woman.

For centuries, brilliant European women powered progress went unrecognised.

This International Women's Day, we want to rebalance the scales. We want to put these women in the spotlight and give them the credit they deserve!
