THE GREAT WOMEN PORTRAIT PROJECT

 

 

Great women of today,

discovering great women of yesterday,

inspiring great women of tomorrow.

 

"Workplaces where women feel represented and empowered can drive innovation.  Let's create spaces, and a society, underpinned by a culture of belonging - where everyone has the opportunity to thrive."  - Great Women Portrait Project producer Jo Napier
