Vital Voices: 100 Women Using Their Power to Empower is an unprecedented book and art exhibition celebrating 100 global women leaders who are redefining power. Edited by Alyse Nelson, with a foreword by national youth poet Amanda Gorman and paintings by Gayle Kabaker, the book and exhibition features a selection of original portraits, accompanied by thought-provoking excerpts from first-person narratives by some of the world's most influential and insightful women. , including: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Malala Yousafzai, Bozoma Saint John, Jacinda Ardern, Donna Langley, Menaka Guruswamy and Arundhati Katju, Joy Buolamwini, Megan Rapinoe and many others. Candid and compelling, each leader shares personal stories, wisdom and insights, showing us that women lead differently and that difference is sorely needed in our world today.
While each woman is a pioneer in her own right, it is together that these 100 voices illustrate the transformative power of female leadership across cultures, sectors and generations.
2020 revealed the critical value of leadership at all levels; from heads of state to community health workers and racial justice activists, we witness remarkable courage and compassion in the face of historic challenge. Global crises have shown us that the solutions we seek already exist, often championed by women leaders like the ones presented in this book.
This year we also commemorate the 25th anniversary of the historic Fourth United Nations World Conference on Women, which sparked a new wave of activism in pursuit of gender equality. As we look to the future and the big unfinished business that remains, we turn to 100 of the boldest and most creative leaders of our time, who share their vision and solutions in Vital Voices: 100 Women Using Their Power to Empower.
