She is also the Founding Director of the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard’s Kennedy School. Her most recent book, Rwandan Woman Rising, outlines the incredible role that Rwandan women played in working towards a lasting peace for their nation. Now female representation in the Rwandan Parliament is unrivaled in the world at 64%.
