The BBC's 100 Women list names 100 of the most inspiring and influential women from around the world. It is part of a BBC multi-format series established in 2013. The annual series examines the role of women in the 21st century. The announcement of the list is the start of an international "BBC's women's season", lasting three weeks including broadcast, online reports, debates and journalism on the topic of women.
