As 2020 comes to an end, Americans have endured multiple crises from the pandemic to the economic recession, racial injustices and a highly contentious presidential election. Women have often taken the lead in helping the country navigate through these crises. As we head in 2021, we talk to the women who have provided steady leadership and vision during a tumultuous year and discuss how they are looking to set the course in Washington, corporate America and activism in 2021.

On Tuesday, Dec. 8, Women Rule held the conclusion of “Powering Forward.” The series of virtual conversations brought the Women Rule community together as we powered through a year that changed American life and how women live, work and lead from Washington to corporate America and in their communities.
