Women in Intl. Security

The following images are from a series of portraits featured on the Stimson Center website. Throughout my time at Stimson, I encountered so many empowering, intelligent women with impressive careers who served as mentors and friends. These women work in male-dominated fields, but do not let that deter them from being experts in their work. They have guided me, taught me, and listened to me, and I felt it was important to share their faces with the world.
