Portraits of some of the UK’s most extraordinary and pioneering women have been unveiled at an exhibition to mark International Women’s Day.
The women are all named on Independent Women 2026 – The Influence List, a compilation of the country’s 50 most influential women shaping the world around us. Featuring women across art, politics, sport, and business, the list s focused on the theme “give to gain”, in recognition of the extraordinary sacrifices many of these women have had to make to succeed.
