“These 12 amazing Women were chosen on the basis of the diversity of issues they were addressing as well as the balanced diversity of the places they were working from. Some of the Women work inside of established Social and Political systems, some are fighting for Democracy, some are Socialists, and some seek to find completely new systems. Most importantly these Women were chosen because of the profoundly critical, important and earthshaking work they are doing in World Communities and their amazing ability to awaken and inspire us all.”
