The 13th edition of Dwars door Vlaanderen Women will take place in Belgium on April 2, 2025. The 1.Pro women's race has been held on the same mid-week date as the men's race since it was introduced in 2012 by organisers Flanders Classics.
Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) was the last winner of the race in 2024, having prevailed against Shirin van Anrooij (Lidl-Trek) with a long-ranged attack.
Amy Pieters has amassed the most victories with three consecutive top placings across 2014, 2015 and 2016 while Ellen van Dijk scored two victories, in 2018 and 2019.
