International Women's Day 2016 is just around the corner, and MStars News brings you few of the greatest wins for feminism from January 2015 to date.

1. Cosby's 35 Women

In July 2015, 35 women allegedly sexually assaulted by American stand-up comedian Bill Cosby featured on the cover of New York Magazine. The cover page from July 2015, took the world by storm as it featured women of many sizes and races coming together to show the world that even in that hour, they all were standing together to fight against injustice and to answer to all those who questioned the credibility of their accusations.

2. Women-Centric TV Shows Got Green Signal 

There was a time when all the television shows had the main protagonists like True Detectives, Prison Break and Dexter. But 2015 brought few exciting TV shows that featured women as the main protagonists. Quantico, Agent Carter, Jessica Jones and Supergirl are among those TV shows that premiered in 2015 and proved that women can also helm the show on their shoulders.
