Democracy: Eleven writers and leaders on what it is – and why it matters

2024 is an exceptional year for democracy. Nearly half the world’s population will take part in a national election, with billions heading to the polls. It’s a thrilling, unprecedented moment for change – yet democracy is also under threat.
Women are at the forefront of the fight for democratic rights, as well as most vulnerable when those rights disappear. Here eleven extraordinary women – leaders, philosophers, historians, writers and activists – explore democracy’s power to uplift our societies. Between its ancient origins and its modern challenges, they share a vision for a better future – one we can build together.
