Women's eNews is going to be honoring "21 Leaders for the 21st Century 2004," which is described as "an awe-inspiring, reader-nominated group, with each leader making news, often at great personal risk, by confronting issues of particular concern to women." The leaders that were chosen are listed below. It might be a worthwhile activity for higher level students to look these individuals up on the Internet and read/write/report to the class about them, and for lower level students for teachers to do the Internet work and present the information either orally or in easy to read language for discussion/journal writing work. 1. Lois Abraham and Jane Roberts 2. Byllye Avery 3. Tillie Black Bear 4. Christina Bruning 5. Shahnaz Bukhari 6. Linda Chavez-Thompson 7. Clotilde Dedecker 8. Donna de Varona 9. Abigail Disney 10. Connie Duckworth 11. Shirin Ebadi 12. Jane Fonda 13. Anne Sutherland Fuchs 14. Anne Glauber 15. Blu Greenberg 16. Christine Grumm 17. Helen Hunt 18. Irene Natividad 19. Margarita Quihuis 20. Shadi Sadr 21. Faye Wattleton By the way, in case you are interested in the reception for these leaders, it will be held on May 20, 2004 - 6:00 p.m. at the Tribeca Rooftop in New York City.
