Meet the Women's 100, the 100 women who have led nations and people and made a lasting impact. Some are as young as Greta Thunburg who bravely sailed across an ocean in a catamaran to chastise the leaders of the world on global warming. Her constituency is a generation who are effected most and usually have no place at the table. Or the talented young poet Emi Mahmoud who traversed Sudan by foot to create a grassroots peace movement and was appointed Goodwill Ambassador of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. There are the effective leaders like Jacinda Ahern of New Zealand who kept her people safe from Covid, or the former rebel Dilma Roussef of Brazil who's code name was 'Estela, ' or Bidhya Bandhari of Nepal who actually convinced the Moaist guerillas of her land to integrate and put down their arms. You will meet Natasa Micic who helped overthrow Serbia's dictator from her car with 'Thelma and Louise, ' painted on it, who scant three years later rose to be the 'accidental' leader her country. There is the biologist Ameenah Gurib Fakim who elevated Mauritius' medical research or Catherine Samba Panza who presided over a free election and a cessation of the civil war in CAR, installed a democratically elected leader then selflessly resigned.
