Book Vital Voices: 100 Women Using their Power to Empower - Assouline

Vital Voices: 100 Women Using Their Power to Empower is an unprecedented book and accompanying art exhibit, celebrating 100 global women leaders who are redefining power. Edited by Alyse Nelson, with a foreword by Amanda Gorman, National Poet Laureate for Young People, and paintings by Gayle Kabaker, the book and exhibition feature a selection of original portraits, accompanied by excerpts from first-person narratives some of the most influential and thought-provoking women in the world, including: 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 more. With candor and conviction, each leader shares her personal story, wisdom and insights, showing us that women lead differently and that difference is badly needed in today's world.

While every woman is a trailblazer in her own right, together these 100 voices exemplify the transformative power of female leadership across cultures, sectors and generations.

The year 2020 has laid bare the critical value of leadership at all levels; from heads of state to community health workers to racial justice activists, we have witnessed remarkable courage and compassion in the face of historic challenges. The global crises have shown us that the solutions we seek already exist, and that they are often championed by women leaders such as those featured in this book.

This year we also commemorate the 25th anniversary of the historic UN Fourth World Conference on Women, which sparked a new wave of activism for gender equality. As we look to the future and the immense task ahead, we turn to 100 of the boldest and most creative women leaders of our time, who share their vision and solutions in Vital Voices: 100 Women who use their power to emancipate themselves.
