Creating a better future for women means building bridges—across generations, communities, and borders. These extraordinary leaders are working toward a more equal world.
HOW WE CHOSE THE 2023 WOMEN OF THE YEAR
A defining project at TIME is the study of influence—who has it, what form it takes, and what it means to wield it. Our annual Women of the Year list, published on March 2, examines the most uplifting form of influence by spotlighting leaders who are using their voices to fight for a more equal world. The 12 women featured on this year’s list come from across the globe and have made significant impact in their respective communities and fields, from activism and government to sports and the arts.
