Ahead of International Women's Day, the Irish Examiner are celebrating Irish women making positive waves across the country and globally.
Young Roscommon native Latisha McCrudden made the top 100 list, an established activist at only 19 years of age.
Ms McCrudden serves as a member of the Irish Traveller Movement National Youth Forum and has worked with Jigsaw as a mental health ambassador for young people.
Mullahoran resident Vanda Brady is well known to Northern Sound listeners with her weekly show ‘My Journey Home’ and in recent weeks with her new programme ‘The Pleasure and the Pain.'

Ms Brady is a native of the Philippines and has received multiple awards for her volunteer work in community development and assistance to migrants and marginalised communities across the region.
Meanwhile, Cavan and Monaghan TD Niamh Smyth also featured on the list for 2024.
The Bailieboro woman was elected as the first president of the Fianna Fáil women's network on 14 September 2015.
Ms Smyth has been a TD since 2016 for Cavan and Monaghan and she is also currently the chair of the Oireachtas Media Committee.
In the list among these local women are First Minister of Northern Ireland, Michelle O'Neill and former President Mary Robinson.
