This document was published in 1979 at a time of increasing interest in the role of Women in Development (known at the time as WID.) Collectively, the women decided to document their interests and their commitment to participating in various ways as women in development. The document contains short bio-sketches of the interests and careers of more than 50 women who were either current students at CIE or who graduated earlier. They represent countries from all over the world – as indicated by the almost 25 different languages spoken by the women. Many of these women went on to leadership positions in education in their countries.
