Women On Foreign Policy's Top 100 Global Thinker's List
/Women of the FP Top 100 Global Thinkers
Foreign Policy magazine released their list of top global thinkers.
Being especially focused on FEMALES here at Anne of Carversville, we’re featuring the 20 WOMEN on Foreign Policy’s list.
Not to worry. About 40% of Anne of Carversville readers are men and they say “Just Do It!”. And why are only 20% women? Sorry guys, I can’t answer that question.
In a few cases — like Hillary and Bill Clinton — SHE shares the spotlight with him. We’re focused on HER. Sorry Bill. We’ll circle back for you another day.
Today we’re sharing the list of women and links back to their bios on Foreign Policy.
Next we’re searching for their books, TED videos, Pete Rose interviews, writing and websites — sharing the Big Think tools needed to know what these policy wonkettes are thinking, teaching, speaking, writing and advocating around the world. Anne
