'The woman who shaped my life'

With International Women's Day coming up on March 8, we want to hear about the woman in your life who has influenced you the most. Illustration: Uttam Ghosh

Your mother. Your aunt. Your neighbour, your wife, your daughter...

It's time to raise a toast to all the wonderful women who have stood by you and been an inspiration to you.

This Women's Day, write in to us about the one woman who has exerted the most profound influence on you.

It could be anyone, from a caring sister to an A-list celebrity. But you have to tell us precisely why she is the one you admire.

Write in to us with your stories at getahead@rediff.co.in (subject line: 'The Woman I Admire') along with a photograph of the two of you, if possible and we'll publish the best entries right here.
