Power of Women 2023: Calls for nomination for a South African Woman doing extraordinary thingsThe Mail & Guardian is excited to announce that the nominations for the 2023 Power of Women are now open. Over the past 17 years, the Mail & Guardian has highlighted the power of women and the stories of ordinary women who are doing extraordinary things.

It began as the Book of South African Women in 2006, which was a directory featuring pioneering women across different social spheres, and became the flagship supplement, Power of Women, to the M&G in 2013. These women are in boardrooms, they are decision-makers, they feed the hungry, they heal us, they teach us and they change our world. We continue to amplify the contributions of women in the growth and development of the nation. This year, under the theme, Accelerating Equality and Empowerment in Women, we will have the privilege to introduce a unique cohort of change-makers who have gone above and beyond expectation in a time of uncertainty and hardship. The closing date for nominations is 18 July 2023. The winners will be announced on 24 August, the month in which the M&G celebrates Women’s Month and the nation observes Women's Day, 9 August.
