Gro Harlem Brundtland

Gro is a doctor, mother of four children and besides that she was also the Minister of the Environment. Eventually she became the first female party leader for the Labor Party, and ruled the party with a steady hand. Then she became Norway’s first female prime minister for three terms. It was she who put women’s health and sustainable development on the international agenda. Among his many important positions, he was director of the World Health Organization, a period at WHO marked by the war against tobacco and the harmful consequences it has for public health. During this period he worked as a kind of world doctor.

One could say that Gro was a political bulldozer in the sense that when he first took responsibility, he got the job done and delivered good results.

Sadako Ogata

Born in Tokyo and a world-class former Japanese diplomat. She was the United Nations’ first female High Commissioner for Refugees, and was from 1991 to 2000. With such work, she has the primary responsibility to protect refugee rights globally. During his tenure as High Commissioner for Refugees, he persuaded UNHCR to expand its coverage of protection not only to refugees, but also to internally displaced persons and other civilians affected by war.

This woman not only stands up for refugee rights like an eagle, but she also takes difficult international negotiations seriously, like a real woman.

Simone Veil

Simone is an Auschwitz survivor who feels the brutality of war physically in her body. He was sent to a labor camp where his head was shaved and his ID changed to a number tattooed on his arm.

After his release, he returned to school and eventually studied law. Then an impressive career awaited him. Simone became France’s first Minister of Women’s Health, she was in many ways the architect behind France’s abortion law which made abortion legal. Thanks to him, French women were allowed free abortions and access to contraception.

Then the path continued to the European Parliament, which she took by storm by becoming Parliament’s first female president!

Simone is a talented woman at her fingertips, who stands at the forefront of women’s rights when others are silent.

Kim Friele

Homoikon, educated at Cambridge University and the most important Norwegian activist for gay rights in Norway. Together with Kim, the gay struggle is on the serious agenda in Norway. Kim was a strong proponent of homosexuality to be decriminalized, because according to the penal code, homosexuality was prohibited and punishable until the 70s, but the law was eventually abolished. He has a lot of credit for the fact that queer rights in Norway have been strengthened.

Kaci Kullmann Lima

Kaci for the Conservatives like Gro for the Labor Party. With her charismatic smile and political zeal, she was the Young Conservatives’ first female leader. Eventually, the parent party took a turn and the Conservatives got their first female party leader, with Kaci as leader, increasing the party’s support.

She is a strong advocate of gender equality, and played a key role in the creation of the EEA agreement. Kaci is committed to the work of strengthening human rights, peace and democracy. Precisely because of his important commitment, he also became chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

In addition, she has several times been named one of the 100 most influential women in the world by Forbes magazine. In other words, she is a cool and raw woman!

Eunice Kennedy Shriver

Eunice is often overshadowed by older brother John F. Kennedy. He is the founder of the Special Olympics, an international organization that provides opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to participate and compete in various sports.

Through her older sister Rosemary Kennedy, who was born with mental retardation, Eunice was inspired to commit to more inclusion and less taboo around people with intellectual disabilities.

Special Olympics first started as Camp Shriver, a camp for children with special needs on its farm. At the camp, children with special needs are allowed to participate in activities such as swimming and soccer with other children. These children and youth not only find friends to play with, but they also become part of a community that recognizes them.

Margaret Thatcher

She has Caligula’s eyes and Marilyn Monroe’s lips, former French President François Mitterrand said of Thatcher. But she’s not only sexy, she’s way hotter!

Thatcher is the daughter of a simple greengrocer, who becomes the woman of England, Europe, and then the Iron Woman of the world, and she is a woman too! Whether it’s in tough economic negotiations with the European Union, or at home at 10 Downing Street, he’s managed to make his mark in world politics, while remaining calm. She did not consider herself a feminist, but still paved the way for the women who came after her in British politics.

If you are loved, you are also hated. When it was discovered that he was dead, the British marked this in a different way. Some celebrate, while others mourn the loss of this rare type of giant.
