Women from all walks of life surround us, and each has taught us something different and the same, if that makes any sense. 

They are different in that they are on their path and the same in that they are all go-getters, pushing to leave this world in a better space than they found it. 

A woman who caught our attention by doing what she finds passion in also taught us that age is just a number. Maniamma, or Radhamani, is an Indian woman in her seventies who is a professional driver. Reportedly, she is said to possess 11 driver's licences in India.

According to the India Times, she helps women learn about construction and operating heavy equipment, including offering courses for heavy equipment operators and operator jobs.
