The Global Fund for Women is hosting a gala event with Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the Honorable President of Liberia, as well as female leaders from Colombia, South Africa, Malaysia, Liberia, Bosnia/Herzogovina and Egypt. They’re also raffling off two tickets to the event — but to enter the raffle, you have to send in a 200-word story about a woman, or women, who you consider to be leaders. It’s a very cool idea, and I’m sure we all know great female leaders who are worth writing about — so head over there and enter. You can read some of the stories that have already been entered here.

Thanks so much, Jill, for spreading the word!
GFW is an awesome organization — the only one my Momma gives to these days.
I’m sad I won’t be able to make the gala, but hope that someone does a full blog report.
Watch Iron Ladies of Liberia on Ellen’s first year in office. Great film.
By the way, Ellen is the first female President on the African continent. Really an amazing woman.
