Audra McDonald
It is not new to appreciate Audra McDonald's services. The actress, who is primarily known and is worshiped for her work on Broadway, is the only person who has won six Tony Awards in all four acting categories. She also has scenes in popularHow "Private Practice”, “The Good Wife”and "The Good Fight”made worth seeing first.
But this year the 54-year-old slipped into the most demanding, most complex and sought-after role of the American music theater, Mama Rose, in the equally important Broadway musical“Gypsy”,which plays in the early 1920s. I am not the only one who says that this is a performance for eternity.
“Gypsy”was created in 1959 by the theater greats Stephen Sondheim, Jule Styne and Arthur Laurents and tells the story of Rose - a dancer from the time of depression - and her relentless endeavor to her daughtersclose. Audra McDonald is part of a number of actresses who have already been occupied as a rose, including Ethel Merman, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters and Patti Lupone, and is still the first black woman to interpret this role.
This not only triggered a discussion about the concept of the “color blind” line -up, but also about the credibility of the show with one notwhiteThe main actress - a black woman would really believethat she would have a chance to make her children in America's favorites in the often racist Vaudeville circus of the early 1920s?
After seeing Audra McDonald, I would say: Yes. During the current resumption directed by George C. Wolfe, not a single line was changed to reflect the ethnicity of the figure or daughters, and yet as a viewer I was able to see the show in a new way, which is great earnings from McDonald. The day after I had seen Audra McDonald in the role of the rose on Broadway, it was announced that - together with some other actors: inside - she would fail for a few days due to illness. The fact that you and your colleague: inside what I have seen, even when I have had bad health, has been proof of your talent, but also a good memory that we can create more than we believe.Perrie Samotin, Digital Director, GLAMOUR US
Professor Clare McGlynn
Every victory in the fight against theAbuse of pictures in the United KingdomCan be attributed to Clare McGlynn, professor for law at Durham University. Your expert advice geared to the victim has supported successful campaigns. This includes the admission of violence against women and girls in the online safety act, the change in the law on upskiring and the introduction of a new criminal offense for cyber flashing. In addition, cooperation with “Rape Crisis” and the “End Violence Against Women Coalition (Evaw)” to punish the possession of “rape porn”, and recently the cooperation withGLAMOUR UK, Evaw, Not Your Porn and Jodie Campaigns to work with the government to ensure that the production of non-mutual deep pornographyis punished. Clares deep commitment to the recognition of the experiences of victims of this violence makes it one of the most trustworthy experts in the area of “Ending Violence Against Women & Girls”. If it is in the room, it is perceived. When she speaks, people listen. **Lucy Morgan, Purpose Editor, GLAMOUR UK**
Eva Ramón Gallegos
In Mexico, cervical cancer is the third most common cancer in women - which is often associated with the spread of the human papillomavirus (HPV). Thanks to the work of the Mexican scientist Eva Ramón Gallegos, who has carried out groundbreaking work to combat and treat HPV, there is a chance to reduce this number.
HerIn 2022Published research results led to the development of an innovative, non -invasive treatment for the elimination of HPV, with which the virus could be successfully combated in 100 % of the women treated in their study. This is a crucial progress, since HPV is responsible for most cases of cervical cancer - and their discovery provides significant benefits for the publicin it and strengthens women by offering a more easily accessible and less invasive treatment option.
Ramón Gallegos' work also underlines the importance of science and biomedical research for the improvement of the health of women, especially in areas where medical progress on life and death can decide. And it increases the visibility of scientists on the international stage.Farah Slim, Head of Editorial Content, Glamor Mexico and Latin America
Marlene Engelhorn
Not many millionaires: inside turn out to be a social activist: inside, but Engelhorn-the heiress of the BASF empire-not only wants inherited assets to be taxed, but also made public advice to be decided to get 90 % of their heirs.
The money - around 25 million euros - went to 80 different organizations that work for the environment, climate, health, affordable living space and social justice.
The 32-year-old is considered a driving force when it comes to structural change in tax policy and tax system as well as the taxation of the wealthy population. The fact that she stands against the 1% as a milline nine, lets a large part of her inheritance redistribute by strangers and is committed to a fairer world, makes me believe in the future. Because they exist: good people who share and determine tomorrow, already today.Ursula Schmied, Senior Cultural Editor, GLAMOUR Germany
Fass of Face
Every text by Shon Faye is a demonstration of vulnerability, humor and punch lines that one would like to have been smart enough to think of them first. Your pop cultural skill is unsurpassed, but it is your partly memoir, partly polemical texts that fought up in the bestseller lists of the Sunday Times.
In her last success title “The Transgender Issue (The Transgender Question)”, she only uses identity as a starting point to take a look at society in general by arguing that freedom is an exemption for everyone for every much revised minority. For years she has filed to use explosive topics as a Trojan horse for an undisguised left -wing politics (the skill that is necessary to criticize the machinations of late capitalism in a review ofCher and only cherTo be built into Mamma Mia 2 is, to be inspired, inspiring). And just like “All About Love” by Bell Hooks in front of her, “Love in Exile” shows how the personal political is. Beyond superficial “hetropessimism” - a chic description for the crisis of the heterosexuals - is examined how other factors such as capitalism, misogyny and our own delusionsinfluence.
Shon Faye is one of the author: inside that only exist once in a generation, the words of which effortlessly penetrate the noise and manage to entertain and illuminate at the same time. It is one that should be observed and read.Kemi Alemoru, Head of Editorial Content, GLAMOUR UK

However, Darkoo explained: “I was never confused about my gender. I don't have the desire to be a man. I am a black woman with male characteristics, but female. ” All of this makes them one of the most exciting British artists that are currently available.Emily Maddick, Assistant Editor and Entertainment Director, GLAMOUR UK
Sinead O'Dowyer
At a time when the diversity of body in the fashion industry seems to lose priority again, it is incredibly inspiring that: Inside like Sinéad O'Dwyer, put the topic of size in the foreground of her work. The Irish designer has questioned the designs of the fashion industry based on Sample Size since the foundation of the same name was founded in 2018. Today she is for her innovative collections with complicated lace-up looks and beautifully flattenedjust as popular as for your diverse-Cast on their runway shows.

Asmeret Berhe-Lumax
Asmeret Berhe-Lumax does what the world forgets so often: to feed people with dignity. In New York, where there are abundance and lack of side by side, she ensures thatNot a privilege, but a right. Above "One Love Community Fridge”, The initiative, which she founded in 2020, has transformed Berhe-Lumax into a silent revolution. The idea is both familiar and transformative: public refrigerators in the districts that are equipped by people for humans - without asking questions.
Born in Ethiopia, grown up in Sweden and now rooted in New York City, Asmeret Berhe-Lumax has a global understanding of community. She saw that hunger is never just about food, but also about access, about exclusion, about whose suffering is visible and whose not. Instead of waiting for solutions from above, she became active herself. Today, the more than 35 refrigerators from “One Love” in Brooklyn and Manhattan saved millions of pounds of fresh food and converted waste into food. No paperwork. No stigma. Only people who help people.
On this international Women's Day we not only celebrate what ASMERET Berhe-Lumax does, but also, but also,HowShe does: on purpose, with respect and with the deeply rooted conviction that the communities already have the answers - they only need the means to act.Ruhama Wolle, Special Projects Editor, GLAMOUR US
Frida Escobedo
Frida Escobedo is a renowned Mexican architect who is known for her innovative and contemporary design approach. In the course of yourShe achieved international recognition for her work, in which she combines traditional Mexican architectural elements with a modern feeling of design. Architecture has always been a profession dominated by men.
Frida Escobedo has broken these barriers, has achieved international recognition and is one of the most prominent architects of her generation. In 2018 she was the youngest architect who designed the famous Serpentine Pavilion (an outdoor area in London, which is designed and built in other architect every year) - the first Mexican to do this. In her projects, she deals with identity, culture and social questions by incorporating elements that question traditional sexual forms, and creates spaces, promote inclusion.
Frida Escobedo has actively encouraged and supported other women in architecture and encouraged young architects to pursue their dreams and overcome the obstacles that they can encounter in an industry dominated by men. Your example serves as inspiration for many women who dream of becoming recognized architects and doing something in their society.Joselyne Ortega, Digital Editor, Glamor Mexico and Latin America
Sandra Weil
Fashion is more than aesthetics and clothing, it is a language with which we can express our vision of the world and the way we experience it. At a time when it is becoming increasingly necessary to create rooms and platforms for the mutual growth of women, the Latin American designer usesSandra WeilFashion not only as a channel to express their creativity and bring impressive collections to life. It turns them into a form of female connection in which the voices of the women who accompany them at every moment are present in their work.
An example of this is her campaign “We All Shine On”, in which she recognizes the influence of iconic women in her industry for her commitment, her visions and your triumph, which are considered role models in life. Sandra is the living proof that Frauenpower and Sisterhood can find their way around as long as a woman decides to advance the change.Antonio Fuentes, author, glamor Mexico and Latin America
María Salguero
The number of female female in Mexico has increased in recent years. According to official information from the National Institute for Statistics and Geography (Inegi), an average of ten women are murdered in Mexico every day.
María Salguero is a Mexican geophysicist and feminist who is known for her work for the documentation of female female in Mexico. She has a card with the title "Femizide in Mexico”Created where the places of female female are recorded across the country. Through the use of data visualization, this card is part of its more comprehensive efforts to raise awareness of gender -specific violence and document cases that are often overlooked by the media and authorities or which is reported too little.
María Salguero's activism has drawn attention to the topic and triggered discussions about gender -specific violence, an account and the need for better data acquisition and reporting in Mexico. In 2023 she received the “Hermila Galindo” medal for the implementation of scientific research in favor of women, awarded by the Congress of Mexico City.Gabriela Medina, Social Media Lead, Glamor Mexico and Latin America
Isabel Wilkerson
When it is agives that changed me after reading, then it was Isabel Wilkerson's "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (Kaste: The origins of our discomfort) ”. The time, attention and the sheer scope of the research that have been incorporated into your non -fiction book are breathtaking.
She explains and underlines that theBetween ethnic groups in the United States are most similar to the Indian box system with a dominant and a subordinate caste. Her book has a narrative aspect that captivates you, and includes many examples that clearly prove their hypothesis: such as that the Nazis on the South of the American were based on how the United States could enforce the Jim Crow laws, or that Martin Luther King India and was presented as an untirable (the lowest caste).
It effortlessly manages to transform such heavy and emotional material into something easily digestible and systematically bruises. As I listened to the audio book, I was moved to tears several times, and before I finished it, I hurried, it was friend: inside andto be recommended.
In my opinion, it should be compulsory reading in the United States, and as the author of the book, Isabel Wilkerson is a woman that I not only admire and worship, but who also wants to emulate in my arguments.Lauren Brown, Visuals Director, Glamour US
My Farter
Mon Laferte, the Chilean-Mexican singer and songwriter, is an inspiring woman for me because she has shown that you can be successful with perseverance and talent under difficult circumstances. Her life story, from her beginnings in Chile to a recognized artist in Latin America, is an example that you can achieve extraordinary things when you fight for your voice. In 2009, shortly after the publication of her first single, her thyroid cancer was diagnosed, but she could not get it down. Today, almost 16 years later, she won five Latin Grammy Awards and two MTV Europe Awards, performed at the famous American music festival Coachella and last year-Documentation about your life and your career published.
It is admirable that Mon Laferte not only conquered the stages with her musical versatility (her styles include pop, rock, metal and more), but also her art and its platform to raise her voice for women, human rights and social concerns that are close to her heart. Your courage, about your own experiences - such as depression and- To speak, she made a symbol of strength.
She has opposed the labels and proved that women can use their voice, choose their own style and challenge the forms imposed by industry. Her art and history inspire thousands of women to be themselves, fight for their dreams and not be afraid to express their feelings.Juárez Paola, Editor, Mexico's GLAMOUR
Coralie Fargeat
It sounds absurd, but only ten women have ever been nominated for an Oscar for the best director. The last one that is part of this is Coralie Fargeeat, which gave the even lesser honor for one, “The Substance”, to be awarded that the experience of the Frausein deals.
And while a large part of the praise for the film is rightly focused on his sharp charges of the way women are treated in old age, I found the metaphor for how we allow the self -hatred of our lives. For me, the film got to the point of how difficult it is to love herself as a woman and shake out expectations, and the disgusting spectacle in the final scene of the film when the main character becomes a hideous monster had something funny.
She was disgusting, but she was finally free. Maybe we should all accept ourselves before we come to this point? With “The Substance”, Coralie Fargeat follows a group of young filmmakers who produce some of the most captivating films in Hollywood, from Greta Gerwig to Emerald Fennell, and they all act from women. I can't wait to see which project Coralie Fargeeat is next to.Stephanie McNeal, Senior Editor, GLAMOUR US
Arvida Byström
For me, Arvida Byström blows conventions as an artist. With her mixture of cute (ki) selfies, actually too much pink, glitter and provocative pornography aesthetics, she puts her own definition of feminism on her social media channels and her exhibitions: a modern, digital feminism that not only fights against society, but also has fun playing with her “chick” associations.
Arvida Byström takes exactly the so often criticized girlie aesthetics and makes it a tool of political provocation-especially in the context with topics such as sexuality and physical policy. What do I personally admire about her? It makes herself vulnerable. While others distance themselves from commerce and exaggerated sexyness, the Swede uses exactly this as a strategy-and deliberately finances her art with work in the erotic area. She asks the question: Why is it okay to live from art, but not of lust? Her cyber feminism feels new: playful, uncompromising and free of moral panic.Madeline Dangmann, Senior Fashion Editor, GLAMOUR Germany
Malala Yousafzai
When I think of Malala Yousafzai, I feel fulfilled by deep admiration and hope for the future. As the Head of Editorial Content from Glamor Germany, I have the privilege of giving many women a voice, but Malala's story is particularly dear to me. Her stamina in the face of unimaginable adversity - as a student, she survived a brutal murder attack just because she wanted an apprenticeship - showed me the real meaning of courage. She did not let herself be silent, turned her pain into force and fear into a fearless campaign for change.Theresa Pichler, Head of Editorial Content, GLAMOUR Germany
Alexia Putellas
In Spain, where football is almost a religion, it is difficult to accept - and sadly admitted - that there was no global female football icon before Alexia Putella's climb and women's football at national level only had a marginal followers.
For me it is not her many awards or her latest title as world champion in 2023 who made you a legend, but rather her ability to inspire millions of girls and women. The former now bear their jersey with pride and know that it is finally possible to become a world football star. The latter, locked me up, have againConnected, which was never only for men, even if it often seemed that.Lucía Tejo, Commerce Editor, Glamor Spain
Eugenia Tenenbaum
When I fell into my hands “La Mirada Inquieta” (Planeta, 2022), I was not aware of what effects it would have on me and my way of looking art - up to the fifth page. The power of Eugenia Tenenbaum (29 years old, from Santiago de Compostela) is so fast. The art historian with fiery hair has become one of the most influential communicators in Spain in recent years through her social media and her digital project on Patreon. Your field is the application of a gender perspective on art. Despite her young age, she is also the author of “Las Mujeres Detrás de Picasso” (Planeta, 2023). Her main goal: to preserve all those artists from forgetting whose genius was wiped out by the relentless hand of the patriarchy. And teach us to love works of art in museum halls from a different perspective.GEMA HOSPIDO, BRAND EDITORIAL SENIOR EDITOR, GLAMOR SPAIN
Mariana Enriquez
Mariana Enríquez's discovery taught me to see the world from a darker, gloomy perspective. The journalist and writer is famous for her short stories and has theHerralde Literature Award in 2019won. My admiration for you stems from reading your prose, in which you masterfully connects supernatural gray with local traditions and above all with the real fears that we encounter in our daily life.
In this sense, the political and social reality of Argentina penetrates its stories without focusing on. She is not an explicit activist, but she does not deny how politics shapes everyday life and how it can become a source of terror. Especially for women, the fears in relation to theTo our body, theAnd the interaction with men in stories such as “Las Cosas Que Perdimos en El Fuego” urgently reflects.Vicky Vera, Beauty Editor, GLAMOUR Spain
Ottess Moshfeg
I discovered the author, known for her provocative works, in 2021, in the middle of the-19 pandemic, on a bestseller list. I orderedMy year of calm and relaxation, which quickly became one of my favorite novels.
You rarely meet complex female protagonists, whose behavior you do not approve of, but you can't get enough of. Moshfeg writes this type of female figures that are demonized for their actions and at the same time envied for their quick wit and depth. She has had a lasting impact on my own writing style and showed me how the socially desirable aspects of the frausure can be represented in a positive and diverse way.
What also inspires me about Moshfeg is her ability to use your skills in a new and interesting way. For the spring/summer collection 2025 fromShe wrote 10 short stories based on Steven Meisel's campaign for the brand. In each, actress Carey Mulligan embodies characters, whose different lifestyles are represented by Prada look. I admire your ability to effortlessly beat a bridge between literature and fashion and capture the zeitgeist, and I see that as a goal for my own work.Lisa Zirngast, Affiliate Editor, GLAMOUR Germany
Rosalia
Rosalía inspires me at all levels - as a writer, composer, performer, public person and woman. She always dares to be brave, try new things and accept new challenges. Your Motomami album is one of the musical works that best define the sensitivity of our time.María Mérida, Fashion Editor, Glamor Spain
Helena Steinhaus
Anyone who follows the work of the German social activist Helena Steinhaus sees a woman who fights for the visibility and financial security of people affected by poverty.
With their organization founded in 2015“Sanction -free”she is committed to the financial support of the needy, including single mothers who look after disabled children. “Sanction -free” then steps in with payments, increases incorrect amounts or helps with a legal assistance to act against the sanctions.
In addition to this vital work, the organization also does a lot of dashy and political educational work by talking about the many reasons for the reference to citizens' money, the associated shame and psychological burden and the active refusal to refuse social spaces for people at risk of poverty.
Your work is perhaps more important today than ever in Germany, where it was only in the past election campaign that relevant citizens (together with refugees) are repeatedly used as scapegoats for conservative and right -wing politics that do not offer sustainable solutions.Katharina Walser, Adaptation Editor, GLAMOUR Germany
Nabiha Syed
I am lucky enough to know Nabiha Syed personally and to call her a real friend. She is the kind of woman we should all have in our corner, extremely loyal, passionate and a daily inspiration.
Your career is long and sometimes a little intimidating. Recently she became the managing director ofMozilla Foundation appointed,A non -profit organization that has set itself the task of making the Internet open and accessible to everyone. With a team of more than 100 employees and a budget of $ 30 million, it has become one of the most influential voices in the world of open source and AI.
I met Nabiha for the first time 15 years ago at a congress for young talents in DC. Even in a group of global superstars, she stood out for many reasons - their ability to master a space, their commitment to freedom of expression, their insight into the future of digital media and their phenomenal love for colors.
I remember that her father at theWith her husband Nana listed everything she had achieved. And who could blame him? A postgraduate degree in law at Yale Law School, one of the most renowned colleges in America. A master's degree from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, where she received a Marshall scholarship (one of the most renowned awards for American students in Great Britain). A conclusion of the Johns Hopkins University, another top American university. Not to mention her legal career: she was an assistant to General Counsel at Buzzfeed before becoming CEO of the tech media company The Markup.
She is a woman who is determined to bring the Internet and the people around her “joy and creativity”, she is a strong advocate of inclusiveness and mentor for dozens of young women in the areas of technology, law and freedom of expression. Nabiha Syed makes me want to be a better person, fight for more people and wear more color.Samatha Barry, Global Editorial Director, GLAMOUR
Dr. Annabel Sowemimo
We still have a long way to do the same rights in the field of reproductive health for all people in the world, but Dr. Annabel Sowemimo hits high waves in Great Britain. She is the founder of theReproductive Justice Initiative (RJI), a British charity organization that campaigns against health and ethnic inequalities in all areas of reproductive care.
She was awarded the basic organization of the year at the Sexual Health Awards 2020 and received a prize in 2022 as a nationalHealth Advisor. And in 2024 Dr. Annabel Sowemimo herself the first award as Health Equity Champion at the Curah-H Awards, with which extraordinary women are honored in the health industry in the United Kingdom. She is also the author of "Divided: Racism, Medicine and Decolonising Healthcare (Racism, Medicine and the Descolonization of Healthcare)", theIn the narrower choicefor the internationally recognized Orwell Prize for Political Writing. At a time when basic human rights are questioned and withdrawn, it is reassuring to know that Sowemimo raises their voice, while so many others cannot.Sophie Donovan, Senior Commerce Writer, Glamour UK
Nicole Wallace
Nicole Wallace took fifteen flights in a single month - a performance that would be enough to make it my idol of the year. But what makes it really makes such idol are the reasons behind these frequent airport visits. She has experienced numerous premiere - “Ni Una Más” (Netflix), “Culpa Mía” (Amazon Prime) - countless filming - “La Casa de los Espíritus” (Amazon Prime) and “Culpa Tuya” (Amazon Prime) - as well as an endless number ofAnd even more photo sessions.
There have also been many revelations. The actress emerged as a courageous and frank advocate against harassment in the film industry and announced a message that serves many other actresses as an example and encouragement. This courage gives her no less lovable, friendly or human. Anyone who was lucky enough to meet her knows that her sudden and immense fame did not distanced Nicole Wallace or made it unapproachable. It embodies grace, friendliness and professionalism. A true boss.Isa Serra, Fashion Editor, GLAMOUR Spain
