At the start of December 2022, Briefly News undertook an empowering project that saw the publication interview and write about a group of 21 women who are powerhouses in their respective industries.
Women in politics, celebrities, businesswomen, women making waves in the public sector and inspiring South African women are featured in the Briefly News Women of Wonder 2022 project.
The project's goal was to create inspirational content that shows the Briefly News audience what the embodiment of a resilient and robust South African woman is.
"I believe there are dozens of unsung heroes among us. Most importantly, women are leading in their respective fields, and we want to share their amazing stories," said Rianette Cluley, Managing Director of Briefly News.

The Briefly News Women of Wonder 2022 project aimed to inspire other women to succeed despite their challenges and to motivate them to go beyond their limits.
"The feedback we received has been phenomenal. It's clear women want to see other women succeed," Cluley added.
With a total reach of about four million across all platforms, the Briefly News Women of Wonder 2022 project proved South African women want to take up space in Mzansi.
For Cluley, it was inspiring to read how many of these women, some incredibly successful, want to inspire and motivate other women to reach beyond their limits.
"It was also endearing to read how these incredible women still succeeded despite the challenges they faced.
"The team interviewed women who faced poverty, racial discrimination, illness and even sexism in their industries. But despite these issues, they all made it to the top."
