She Writes

PS has always been committed to amplifying the voices of the world’s leading thinkers – including the women, who all too often struggle to be heard. Now, we are offering a monthly newsletter dedicated to such women: She Writes.

Each issue highlights women whose ideas deserve wider attention, offers a curated selection of our most incisive women-authored commentaries from the previous month, and presents our latest woman-focused multimedia offerings. She Writes is thus an ideal resource for anyone seeking to discover new and noteworthy ideas – and the women who have them.

Binaifer Nowrojee and Shannon K. O’Neil

Binaifer Nowrojee is President of the Open Society Foundations, where she previously served as Vice President of Programs on the Executive Leadership Team, East Africa Foundation Director, Regional Director for the Asia-Pacific, and Vice President for Organizational Transformation. Before joining OSF, she worked as legal counsel at Human Rights Watch and as a staff attorney at the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights. She has also been a lecturer at Harvard Law School.

Nowrojee has spearheaded advocacy initiatives to promote social justice and equality in Africa and Asia, and worked extensively on prosecuting sexual violence under international law, even testifying as an expert witness at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

During This Super Election Year, More Women Are Needed at the Top

Nowrojee and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf call attention to a disturbing reversal of progress toward gender equality in politics and government.

Shannon K. O’Neil is the vice president, deputy director of studies, and Nelson and David Rockefeller senior fellow for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. She was a Fulbright scholar and a Justice, Welfare, and Economics fellow at Harvard University, and has taught Latin American politics at Columbia University. She previously worked in the private sector as an equity analyst at Indosuez Capital and Credit Lyonnais Securities.

O’Neil is the author, most recently, of The Globalization Myth: Why Regions Matter, which chronicles the rise of three key global manufacturing and supply-chain hubs and what they mean for US economic competitiveness.

Latin America’s Big Opportunity

O’Neil explains how the region could benefit from global economic and geopolitical reordering.
