Top Seven Women Wonders of the World

We are premiering a new feature on our site which will highlight different categories of women who have made or are making a difference in our world. This week the category is environmentalists.

Many of these women have risked their own personal safetly, indeed their lives, as well as their careers to make themselves heard on these issues. Here are a few examples:

Erin Brockovich - her solo investigation established that the health of countless people who lived in and around Hinkley, California in the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s had been devastated by exposure to toxic Chromium 6.

Lois Marie Gibbs - her 7-year-old son's elementary school in Niagara Falls, New York was built on a toxic waste dump - The Love Canal.

Hazel Henderson - an authority on global economics and human development issues, was labeled by corporate CEOs the "most dangerous woman in America."

Do you have a top 7? We'd love to hear from you.
