INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

International Women’s Day 2018: Janelle Monae, Jane Fonda, and More of Hollywood’s Strongest In the Pages of W

by W Staff

Jane Fonda

Over the years, W has featured the women that rule their industries, whether it be modeling, acting, music, writing, directing, or some combination of all of the above. From the likes of icon Jane Fonda, who has been speaking her politics out loud since the 60’s, to Janelle Monae in a Hitchockian gray suit, these women—whether dressed in the latest couture, or stripped down in black and white—are all examples of strong females that we’ll be looking to for inspiration for years to come. In honor of International Women’s Day, here is a look back at some of the best portraits of famous women in the pages of W.
