Just in time for Mother’s Day, Working Mother magazine just released its list of the 50 Most Powerful Moms of 2015.

Each year, Working Mother chooses 50 remarkable women whose influence is felt on a daily basis by their singular talent, hard work and intellectual capital — not to mention courage, strength, love of family and, most importantly, their passion to make the world a better place. These moms (each with at least one child under age 18, listed alphabetically by work sector) come from a variety of industries, and I’m proud to say eight of the 50 are from the retail/fashion space! Here’s a closer look at them, in alphabetical order:

Angela Ahrendts
Senior Vice President of Retail and Online Stores, Apple
Children: 3
There’s a lot of power in heading up Apple’s ubiquitous $20 billion retail operation, especially with the launch of the new Apple Watch, but as former CEO of Burberry, Anrendts was quite prepared to promote a huge product launch from a legacy brand with panache. Along with big launches, this working mom is big into family. In an interview with Makers, ahrendts said family has always come first. “If I’m a better mother, if I’m a happy wife and my husband’s happy, I will be a better executive and the company will win.”

Victoria Beckham
Fashion Designer/Singer
Children: 4
Beckham earns continued props for her rebirth as a legitimate, high-powered fashion icon and businesswoman. Untrained as a designer, she’s completely hands on, trying on all her clothes, working with shapes and making decisions from there. This untraditional approach seems to be working. Beckham’s namesake fashion lines are well-respected by power players in the industry and growing strong, with sales doubling between 2013 and 2014 to the tune of 30 million pounds in a single year. When asked by the host of Vogue’s online video series 73 Questions what’s the greatest thing she’s learned from her kids, Beckham playfully answered, “how to play football in the house and how to love unconditionally.”

Sara Blakely
Founder and CEO, Spanx
Children: 3
Sara proves time and again that total commitment, sheer determination and unwavering belief in yourself can make all the difference in the outcome of your business. Once upon a time, her fulfillment center was her bathroom; she couldn’t afford a lawyer (so she studied patent law in the Georgia Tech library); and hosiery plants from Atlanta to North Carolina opted not to manufacture her product. Today, Spanx is valued at more than $1 billion, is sold in 60 countries and features eight stand-alone retail locations. Sara is also big into paying it forward. The Sara Blakely Foundation has donated upwards of $24 million to support education and female entrepreneurship. Sara’s latest, greatest idea? Becoming co-owner of the Atlanta Hawks as of last month!

Rosalind Brewer
President and CEO, Sam’s Club
Children: 2
The first woman and first African-American to become CEO at Sam’s Club, Rosalind began her career as an organic chemist at Kimberly-Clark, where she worked for more than 20 years. In her current position since 2012, Rosalind has worked to expand Sam’s Club offerings, adding organic items to meet the changing needs of restaurants and expanding offerings from private labels. She’s also guiding the retailer toward expanding its online presence, integrating stores and e-commerce, and implementing consumer-friendly mobile payment processing. When asked by Capital Style for the best business tip she could offer, Rosalind said, “Lead with your gut. Usually my gut doesn’t steer me wrong. It’s that initial reaction to something that’s likely the right reaction. Then I usually follow it up with numbers and all the other things that are important. But my gut usually tells me what to do next.”

Tory Burch
Designer and Founder, Tory Burch
Children: 3
Tory remains a stalwart purveyor of easy, breezy upscale chic. Her billion-dollar brand is upheld by more than 120 freestanding boutiques and spaces in more than 3,000 department and specialty stores around the globe. What’s more, her Tory Burch Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women’s economic empowerment, recently partnered with Bank of America to offer female entrepreneurs $10 million in loans. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Tory credits her success to blood, sweat and timing. “I think it comes down to having a great idea and an amazing team and being willing to work incredibly hard. There’s no such thing as an overnight success.”

Helena Foulkes
President, CVS Pharmacy, and EVP, CVS Health
Children: 4

As president of CVS’s $65.6 billion retail business, Helena is in charge of more than 7,700 pharmacies serving some 5 million people. Having been at CVS for 20 years, she grew the retailer into the largest pharmacy health care provider in the United States. Helena made CVS the first pharmacy chain to stop selling tobacco products and rebranded the chain CVS Health. Of this commitment, Helena told Fortune: “I think a lot of times making a business decision is like being a marathoner. In other words, you know what the finish line is that you really want to get to, but along the way it’s not always pure joy. There are really hard moments. However, if you keep your eye on the prize, it’s part of what drives you to get there.”

Jenna Lyons
Creative Director and President, J.Crew
Children: 1

Jenna is J.Crew because it’s literally where she’s spent her entire career. She landed her first job there fresh out of Parsons School of Design in New York City and worked her way up the ranks from an assistant position. Along the way, Jenna has been vocal about her creative vision, to the point of overhauling the look of J.Crew’s clothes, catalog and marketing strategy to use her coterie of influencers. In a recent New Yorkmagazine Q&A, Jenna alluded to her son Beckett when asked what her perfect day looked like: “No Wi-Fi. Ice cream. And Minecraft.”

Gisel Ruiz
Executive Vice President, Walmart International
Children: 2

Gisel’s career at Wal-Mart began in 1992 as a store management trainee and eventually led to her being responsible for 350 employees. Today, as EVP of Walmart International, Gisel is dedicated to giving back through various diversity and mentorship programs. As she told HACR.org, “looking back there were so many people in my career who chose to help me, who chose to support me, and took the time to do that because they had an interest in me. It’s more of a personal responsibility than a professional one. It really is about giving back considering what you’ve received.”
