March 8 is the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. Hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals worldwide are making plans for celebrating IWD.

Today, a list of 100 individuals working for women was published by Women Deliver. The list includes major international political leaders, activitists, and some scholars. Not a single anthropologist as far as this blogger can tell. A bit odd that Paul Farmer didn’t make this list!

How about working together on a list of 100 anthropologists working for women?
