THE PEAK POWER LIST 2021

Women hold up half the sky. We salute 10 of them who are making a difference.

In 1949, Mao Zedong once famously said that women hold up half the sky. Since then, progress in the gender equality sphere has been marching forward with the occasional sputtering and odd step backwards, but never back to the starting line. The way ahead is still long and arduous, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. This year - the seventh edition of the Power List - we honour the following women who have been fearless about pushing the limits of gender equality and equity in their respective fields.
