Desperately Seeking 2008 Woman of the Year

As we bid 2008 goodbye, we want to get your thoughts on which woman was the most influential or inspirational in world politics this year. She could be someone whom you admire or despise. She doesn't have to be a professional politician. We're looking for women whose ideas, words, deeds and heels have left a mark. Tell us about the lucky lady and justify your choice. Replies can run from a few lines to a few paragraphs. Please include your name, city and country in your response. Send your choices to Nonna at [email protected] with "Women and Foreign Policy" in the subject heading. The deadline is December 1, 2008. We will feature your responses right here later that month. Thanks so much!
