Margaret Alva

Asia Political and Public Leadership

Throughout a 30-year career in parliament, Margaret Alva used her legislative wins for women’s rights to spearhead India’s “silent revolution” — an effort to engage millions of her countrywomen in the political process. Her trailblazing advocacy and public service paved the way for new generations of women politicians at all levels of government. Today, she’s serving a five-year term as Governor of the State of Uttarakhand.
