Welcome, dear readers, to a groundbreaking edition of the Los Angeles Tribune’s Quarterly Special Thought Leader Edition highlighting women in leadership. In this special edition, we embark on a journey of discovery, inspiration, and celebration as we honor the extraordinary women who have rewritten the rules, shattered glass ceilings, and left an indelible mark on the world.

Since our inception in 1886, the Los Angeles Tribune has championed progressive voices, ignited important conversations, and pushed boundaries. Today, we take great pride in turning our spotlight towards the women who have fearlessly carved their paths, challenging norms, and changing the course of history.

From the cover article on the Nine Extraordinary Women to the pages that follow, you will discover the stories of women who dared to dream, challenged the status quo, and made a lasting impact.

On behalf of the Los Angeles Tribune Editorial Team and the visionary behind The Los Angeles Tribune, Moe Rock, whose dedication to women’s empowerment brought this special edition into fruition, we thank you for your support in expanding our cause to uplift, inspire and educate the world.

United, we are breaking barriers and applauding women as they take their stance in leadership. At The Los Angeles Tribune, we stand to create a world where equality knows no bounds, where dreams are nurtured, where women’s voices are amplified, where men’s contributions are honored, and together we fulfill our purpose to make our world a better place.

With heartfelt gratitude,
