The Women's 100

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Meet the Women's 100, the 100 women who have led nations and people and made a lasting impact. Some are as young as Greta Thunburg who bravely sailed across an ocean in a catamaran to chastise the leaders of the world on global warming. Her constituency is a generation who are effected most and usually have no place at the table. Or the talented young poet Emi Mahmoud who traversed Sudan by foot to create a grassroots peace movement and was appointed Goodwill Ambassador of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. There are the effective leaders like Jacinda Ahern of New Zealand who kept her people safe from Covid, or the former rebel Dilma Roussef of Brazil who's code name was 'Estela,' or Bidhya Bandhari of Nepal who actually convinced the Moaist guerillas of her land to integrate and put down their arms. You will meet Natasa Micic who helped overthrow Serbia's dictator from her car with 'Thelma and Louise,' painted on it, who scant three years later rose to be the 'accidental' leader her country. There is the biologist Ameenah Gurib Fakim who elevated Mauritius' medical research or Catherine Samba Panza who presided over a free election and a cessation of the civil war in CAR, installed a democratically elected leader then selflessly resigned.

Autorenporträt

Richard O'Brien was a product of Culver Academies, American University and Georgetown University. He instructed the Secondary Social Studies classes of World History, World Geography, U.S History, U.S Government and Women's Studies. In 2000, he Founded the Center for the Prevention of Genocide, an early warning, human rights NGO designed to predict, intercept and intervene in the most deadly of genocide activities. The CPG was a direct result of O'Brien's Master's Thesis 'Genocidal Indifference.' During its four years open, the largely twenty-something year old staff, interns and volunteers had a surprisingly strong record of success helping avert, end or playing a role in the prevention or intervention in Sulawesi, Indonesia, Nuba, Sudan, Darfur, Sudan, Eastern D. R Congo, Uganda, Chechnya, Colombia, and other hot spots around the world.He testifies in U.S Congressional Committee hearings on LRA killings of Acholi tribe members in Uganda, and appeared or spoke on national TV and NPR radio as well as having written articles in the Washington Post and the new York Times. After the CPG, he taught International Human Rights, Conflict in the Modern World and Ideologies of the World at the University of South Florida. He advocated to defeat a Racial Profiling Bill in the Florida House and Senate in 2011. He successfully lobbied the U.S. Foreign Relations Committee Chair (House) to change her vote and acknowledge the Armenian Genocide for the first time in U.S History. He took a Visiting Scholar position at George Mason University's Carter School (then S-CAR) and completed the first draft of Break Glass in 2014. He subsequently wrote and published Women President's and Prime Ministers 2017 & 2018 Double Bridge. In 2023, he completed Break Glass, his master work about the Center for the Prevention of Genocide and the past 110 years of genocide and its heroes. He has authored 'Women Presidents and Prime Ministers' (2017 & 2018 Double Bridge). During his book tour, he gave a Ted Talk at American University on the subject of women leaders of nations. He is the proud father of twins Annalise and John AC O'Brien.
