In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, we asked KSAT viewers and journalists who they are honoring.
Some social media users and KSAT reporters chose well-known historical figures, while others chose lesser-known women who had a significant impact on their lives.
Selections included mothers and daughters and trailblazing pioneers who’ve pushed boundaries and broken glass ceilings.
