Women are being empowered and empowering other women to speak out on critical issues that concern them and impact their families. According to the Pew Internet and American Life project, 43% of bloggers are women. There is true power in those voices to bring about discussion and change.

She is a relentless, brilliant, innovative “survivor in action” showing others how to survive and succeed. See http://alexisamoore.blogspot.com. Love you, Alexis and Myra!

Rania is from Jordan, but has been working with Morocco’s First Lady Lalla Salma. Both are great examples.

She is not an elected world leader, but her work in educating the girls of Morocco is changing that nation’s future.

A survivor who is making a difference by helping to prevent domestic violence!

Martin is definitely one to add to this list for her 10 year fight for the rights of women in the workplace. Martin v. Howard University is one case that should not be forgotten by anyone.
