CONTENTS

ive long believed that the most inspiring and vibrant women

in americaand around the worldare the ones who

stand out in the crowd. daring is a word thats always in style,

whether its in reference to creating a shockingly beautiful

work of art, following a wild dream, challenging the status quo,

speaking from the heart, adventurous cooking or inspiring

an entire generation to think about a social issue differently.

the most daring thing you can do in life is be true to

yourself. individually and collectively, these women inspire

us to do exactly that.

jane fonda

(1937) stretches the imagination. shes played

ingnues, sexpots and tough independents in over fifty films

and on broadway. shes taken on roles that address serious social

issues (personal courage, capitalism, war, sexuality, aging) with

grace and humor (see:

julia, tout va bien, coming home, grace and

frankie

). she inspires action on those issues in real life: she made

an exercise video that sparked a nation-wide fitness craze in

the 1980s; with fellow activists and writers gloria steinem and robin

morgan, she founded the womens media center to increase the

visibility and decision-making power of women in media. she stood

with indigenous people at standing rock sioux reservation in

north dakota to stop a pipeline from crossing ancestral lands. the

most incredible beauty and the most satisfying way of life come

from affirming your own uniqueness, she wrote in her

second book. yes indeed.

sarah sophie flicker

the 2004 elections and founded an avant-garde political

cabaret troupe called the citizens band. for it she gathered

dancers, actors, poets, composers, aerialists and trapeze

artists; karen elson, maggie gyllenhaal, melissa auf der maur,

zooey deschanel and craig wedren. theyve addressed issues

from voter apathy, the environment and immigration to debt,

medical care and human rights across the country. she

started the department of peace to produce political films

and PSAslike the one of miranda july, carrie brownstein,

tracee ellis ross, sia, lena dunham, lesley gore and more

encouraging women to vote in 2012 by lip synching to

you dont own me. (lesley originally recorded the song

in 1964 in the same fight for equal rights and equal pay.)

she exposes anti-female legislation at the local and federal

level with lady parts justice. as the creative director of art not

war, shes creating campaigns calling for paid family leave.

she writes about all of these issues for young adult platforms

like

rookie

magazine and hello giggles. she studied law.

she collects vintage clothes. shes directed music videos for

karen elson and anti-fracking ones for yoko ono. shes a
