Honorable Linda Tarr-Whelan

Linda is a premier expert on women's leadership in this country and internationally. As a Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow, she is a frequent speaker to college and women's audiences, in the media and as an advisor to top officials in the United States and Europe on the role of women. Linda promotes how more women in leadership is good business and smart politics. Her new book, Women Lead the Way: Your Guide to Stepping into Leadership-and Changing the World, brings her strong experience, the powerful research and her personal convictions about women's strengths to the ground level with a practical roadmap for women to move up.

She has always been a change agent. The constant thread in her life and work has been to lead beyond the status quo to a more egalitarian, peaceful and just world. She has pursued the dream of women's advancement from her first day on the job as a nurse when she was fired for failing to stand up when a doctor came into the room and carried her passion and determination to top positions including Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
