25 badass women shaping climate action in 2021

Close Authorship Given the devastating economic toll the COVID-19 pandemic has had on women and girls, the imperative to mark International Women’s Day carries more weight than usual this year.  The idea of a day celebrating the accomplishments of the female gender in the U.S. reaches back to 1909. Throughout the subsequent decade, the concept was embraced by countries including Austria, Denmark, Germany, Russia and Switzerland, but it wasn’t until 1975 that the first International Women’s Day was celebrated and adopted by the United Nations. As I began identifying leaders to include on this third annual list, I was inspired by the introduction to All We Can Save, an essay and poem collection co-edited by marine biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson (who you can find on this year’s list) and Katharine Wilkinson (who we recognized on the first Badass Women list in 2019).

Opening a Window of Opportunity to Bring More Women into

The pandemic has shown that it can deepen inequities and create opportunities. Women are disproportionately affected by many of the cultural, economic, and technological shifts the pandemic is accelerating. But even as many women navigate their new roles as full-time caregivers, ad hoc teachers, and bread winners, digitization is providing a unique opportunity for women to rise. There is a saying that “when one door closes, another window opens.” At Cisco Networking Academy, we see that today’s students are seizing opportunities to upskill and retrain, showing that learning can take place anywhere and at any time. This is just the ticket for women who need more options and greater flexibility to fit learning into their full days and broad responsibilities.
