The BBC has released it's 'BBC 100 Women' list for 2022 to celebrate inspirational and influential women, with selections including singer Billie Eilish and First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska. This year's list's theme focuses on progress as it honours activists, politicians, entertainment figures and healthcare workers.
Eilish became the first artist born in the 21st century to get a number on in the charts with 'Bad Guy' in 2019, which was the lead single from her US album chart topping 'When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?'. She added another number one album with 'Happier Than Ever' in 2021, before continuing her stride in 2022 by winning an Oscar with James Bond theme 'No Time To Die' for best original song and headlining Glastonbury.
She is also renowned for her activism, which includes campaigns on issues such as the environment and women's equality, using her Glastonbury set to oppose the Supreme Court decision to overturn the 1973 Roe v Wade case that legalised abortion across the US. Alongside her brother Finneas O'Connell she also joined WaterAid's call for climate action.
