| Previous winner | Elisa Longo Borghini |
De Brabantse Pijl is one of the last major Spring Classics for women of the season, coming after Paris-Roubaix and before the three Ardennes Classics that close out the early-season one-day races: Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
The women's race debuted in 2016, with Marianne Vos winning the inaugural edition. Until 2018 it was a separate race, and until 2022, it was on a separate course until Flanders Classics brought the women onto the men's course which finishes in Overijse.
Italian National Champion Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) followed up her victory in the Tour of Flanders by winning the 2024 edition, after dropping Demi Vollering (SD Worx) in the final ten kilometres and going solo to the finish.
