"Google 'professional women' emoji nominated for Design of the Year":
Google said it had seen the need for new icons following an op-ed in the New York Times by Amy Butcher, which asked: “Where was the lawyer? The accountant? The surgeon?

Butcher noted that while women were left painting their nails, men were seen serving on the police force and working in the building industry.
