Whatever their focus and talent — politics, science, technology, art — these pioneers are unapologetically breaking out and pushing boundaries. They’re rising up to listen, to be heard, to see and be seen, to celebrate and empower. Women and their allies are joining forces in an explosion of discovery and ingenuity to drive real, meaningful change.
