What you're about to see is downright nasty...in the best way possible.
"Be bold for change" is the official theme for this year's International Women's Day, but what has that meant for you?
Does it mean going on strike and taking a stand against economic inequality, like what's happening with today's "A Day Without A Woman" campaign?
Maybe you donate volunteer time or money to organizations that support women.
Or maybe you spread a message of solidarity on social media.
On that front, we've collected 19 feminist illustrations by Canadian artists who are being bold on Instagram. Some work is powerful. Some is downright nasty — in the best way possible. All of it, we hope, is inspiring.
