International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on the 8th of March and this year’s theme is “Connecting girls, inspiring futures”. We want to hear about the inspirational females in your family tree.

Is there a female ancestor whose story has inspired you in some way? A female family member whose actions many years ago have changed you or inspired you?

If so, we want to hear about them! Simply click on Submit Your Story and tell us about your inspirational female. Stories should be no longer than 250 words.

If you have any photos of the female involved in your story, you can submit them too. Just click on Submit a text post and you will see an option to Submit a Photo.

We look forward to hearing your story.
