The burdens we bare, the roles we embody, all the while being exceptionally phe- nomenal at everything. We run corporations, touch lives through com- munity outreach, stand on the front line of activism, excel at science & medicine and we even manage to leave our mark on the world in the most fashionable way. There is definitely something uniquely special about being a woman. We possess the power to heal, lead and influ- ence people in a way no one else can. The women, along with so many others are game changers, healers, mothers, trendsetters, and most im- portantly they are this year’s 50 Most Intriguing Women.
