The Contributors

Each of these amazing women and life extraordinaires wrote a powerful, passionate essay about one of the 52 virtues that resonated with and is authentically connected to them.

Some wrote the message they wish they knew years ago.
Some share everything their younger self wanted and needed to hear.
Some wrote the message they want women and children to know right now.
Any of these voices could be the one that helps, changes, lifts another.

All these women are standing side-by-side to help to give millions of girls the chance to live healthier, delay marriage and childbirth, resist domestic violence, secure a better job, earn higher wages, and break the cycle of poverty.
