It is time for women to band together…

“It is time for women to band together, take the power, and heal the Earth.”

-Jane Goodall

Linda and I are always searching for women leaders to watch.  We add these women to our list begun in chapter 8 of  Women’s Ways of Leading.

I just finished reading the 5th issue of World Pulse Magazine, “Earth”, http://www.WorldPulse.com.  What an inspiration!  It is filled with stories of women leaders around the world who are engaged in projects, causes, and activities to restore the environment to health.  In one of the article they list six eco-heroines to watch.  These women are emerging as environmental leaders.  I want to “shout out” their names to the world, encouraging their leadership and stimulating other women to leadership.  Leah Wickham, Fiji; Peggie Liu, China; Rosemary Olive Mbone Enie, Cameroon; Josette Perard, Haiti; Phaedra Ellis-Lamkin, US; and Melinda Kramer, US. You can find out more about Melinda, who is building coalitions around the global water crisis, and Rosemary, who is involving African women in the environmental justice and climate action movement, at WorldPulse.com then choose Pulsewire and put in their first names.

Another women to watch is Noha Atef, Egyptian blogger, who has built a data base of human rights abuses in Egypt. tortureinEgypt.net.
