21 Leaders for the 21st Century honors people of all ages, heritages, countries, and professions who have made a positive impact on the lives of women.... Former 21 Leaders have embodied the breadth and depth of leadership on behalf of women worldwide--from Baghdad to Vietnam, Rwanda to Afghanistan, from New York to San Francisco, from Wall Street trading floors to the union halls.

The 21 Leaders have been athletes, corporate executives, philanthropists, religious leaders, and union organizers, They have initiated and led global business initiatives and hosted high-level invitation-only events for venture capitalists. They have organized their communities and stood up to elected officials. They have challenged sexual harassment in the workplace and have successfully advocated for women and girls. They are from all walks of life, all backgrounds-and share a commitment to women and made ground-breaking efforts to improve their lives.

And yes, we honor men too-at least one each year.
