#WomenLead

By Akshi Chawla

Tracking all things women-in-politics from around the world

Akshi Chawla's #WomenLead is always thoughtfully collated and gives me a weekly snapshot of women's political progress around the world. It's a smart, warm place and I love to visit. Also, I designed the logo, but I promise I'd say the same things about #WomenLead even if I hadn't.
