150 Women who Shake The World

Hello ladies.

Newsweek  magazine has compiled a list of 150 Women Who Shake the World.  You can explore this list of extraordinary women further here. We also have a copy of this issue of Newsweek in the library if you would like to browse through it or check it out to take home.


The list includes women whose names we are all familiar with, like Diane von Furstenburg, Hilary Clinton, Madeline Albright, and Michele Obama as well as a number of notable women you have probably never heard mentioned but who have done great things. For example: 

ChouChou Namegabe (Congo)
Self-taught Congolese radio journalist who raises awareness of women's issues for hundreds of thousands of women and children.








Sussan Tahmasebi (Iran)
 Iranian women's and civil rights activist and co-founder of the One Million Signatures Campaign.



Pilju Kim Joo (North Korea)

North Korean agricultural expert who brings the gift of food to one of the world's hungriest regions.

Happy Reading,
