This International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8, comes at a time of strong determination and a “renewed sense of urgency.” In honor of this day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements and contributions of women, many travel brands around the world are shining a spotlight on female trailblazers. While some brands tried (and missed) the mark on social media today, we found these to be pretty inspiring.

It’s true little girls with dreams become women with vision. When they were told they couldn’t, they made sure they did. https://t.co/AhFyVZMsmk#WomensHistoryMonth pic.twitter.com/WDX5tEFDFQ

Here’s to the trail blazers & history makers. The dreamers & the believers. We’ll be sharing the inspiring stories of #WomenUnited for #WomensHistoryMonth. First up – Joanne Borg, who saw a team of male mechanics in 1977 and thought, “I can do that job.” https://t.co/LhQ8OTPJWe pic.twitter.com/SExN8xI2rm
