Womens' Work

This finding is still preliminary, but I am pretty sure it will ultimately be proven: We would all be well served if we just let women run things. From the Vatican to Afghanistan to Ghana to the Congress, men keep screwing things up. Meanwhile, incredibly capable women are left to clean things up. The time has come for them to just take charge.

These pictures are of some of the women working at the local level in Ghana that I got to speak to recently. I think the pictures reflect the intelligence, commitment and strength that each has. What is more amazing is that they have to overcome huge barriers to participate, but they don’t even think about it--they just ignore or kick down the barriers, and make their communities a better place.
