Welcome!

Welcome!
You have just embarked on an exciting journey of discovery and learning that will affect your lives in a deep and meaningful way.

Leading the Way: A Tribute to Women of the 20th Century was conceived as a homage to women and with a mission to instruct, inspire and increase awareness of their essential contribution to our societies past and present.

The book, as a companion piece and a direct extension to the painting, is intrinsically part of its vision. Accordingly, your approach to research must be guided by and adhere to the overall project’s mission.

Leading the Way: A Tribute to Women of the 20th Century's first exposure to the world – first at the United Nations Headquarters last February and at the United Nations’ Palais des Nations in Geneva in July for the 60th anniversary of the Commission on the Status on Women – underscored my belief in the relevance of its mission and strengthened my commitment to diffuse its message internationally.

Now, in sharing my project with you, I am also transferring a share of responsibility. Carrying on the mission of Leading the Way: A Tribute to Women of the 20th Century begins with your involvement and your commitment to the subject of this internship. This book is an adventure that I am excited to share with you. You are the forgers of tomorrow. The World belongs to you and what you will make of that responsibility matters. Your involvement and contribution to your time makes a difference. Your commitment to our project is an opportunity for you to leave a mark and make a difference in that you will contribute to your time an important historical record.
Each one of the lives of these women you will be researching is a master class in History, every one of these women is a building block of our collective Humanity.

It will be hard work I know but I believe this internship can give you as much as you are willing to search and find.
