THE WORLD’S 100 MOST POWERFUL WOMEN
Forbes
From fighting the pandemic to reengineering American politics, these influential women—including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams—are making history.
During the U.S. vice presidential debate in October, Senator Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence squared off in fairly typical fashion: for 90 minutes they contradicted each other, selectively answered the moderator’s questions, and interrupted each other—with Pence doing so at twice the rate of Harris. “Mr. Vice President,” Harris would say each time, reclaiming the mic, “I’m speaking.”
The comeback launched a thousand memes, but it also became a rallying cry for women across America. One month after the debate, Senator Harris became the first woman, first Black American and first Asian American to be elected vice president—an unprecedented trifecta of firsts for California Senator Harris.
Her rapid ascension in U.S. politics has also catapulted her onto the Forbes list of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women for the first time; she makes her debut at No. 3, right below German Chancellor Angela Merkel (ranking No. 1 for the tenth year in a row) and European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde (No. 2 for the second straight year).
The women on the 17th annual power list hail from 30 countries and were born across four generations. There are 10 heads of state, 38 CEOs and five entertainers among them. But where they differ in age, nationality and job description, they are united in the ways they have been using their platforms to address the unique challenges of 2020. In particular, several of this year’s Power Women received global plaudits for their effective responses to Covid-19: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (No. 32) vanquished a first and second wave of a virus in her country by implementing strict lockdown and quarantine procedures.
As Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg (No. 52) put it during a global conference in November: “... [D]emocratic countries where human rights are respected and where women are able to reach top positions in society are also the countries that are the best-equipped to handle crises by Covid-19."
The 17 newcomers on this year’s list illustrate that women are leading all aspects of a society transformed by a global pandemic. New UPS CEO Carol Tomé (No. 11) and Clorox head Linda Rendle (No. 87) are responsible for helping provide essential services that have kept Americans connected and clean, while CVS Health executive vice president and incoming CEO Karen Lynch (No. 38) leads the pharmacy giant’s vast Covid testing program and, in 2021, will be responsible for its critical handling of Covid vaccines.
In this year, few people deftly used their power quite like Fair Fight founder and voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams (No. 100). By working to help register some 800,000 people to vote in Georgia, the former state representative helped a Democratic presidential nominee win her state for the first time in 28 years. Her work is not done--she said she gave herself “17 minutes” of celebration before turning her focus to the critical Georgia Senate runoff elections in January. But it is due to that continued work, along with the efforts of so many women like her, that the words of the soon-to-be vice president will come to fruition. Said Harris in November: “While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.”

在10月的美国副总统辩论中，参议员卡玛拉·哈里斯和副总统迈克·彭斯（Mike Pence）以相当典型的方式进行了对决：在90分钟的时间里，他们互相反驳，有选择地回答主持人的问题，并互相打断--彭斯打断的次数是哈里斯的两倍。哈里斯每次夺回话筒的发言权都会说，“副总统先生，我正在讲话。”

The 17 newcomers on this year's list illustrate that women are leading all aspects of a society transformed by a global pandemic. New UPS CEO Carol Tomé (No. 11) and Clorox head Linda Rendle (No. 87) are responsible for helping provide essential services that have kept Americans connected and clean, while CVS Health executive vice president and incoming CEO Karen Lynch (No. 38) leads the pharmacy giant's vast Covid testing program and, in 2021, will be responsible for its critical handling of Covid vaccines.

Her work is not done--she said she gave herself “17 minutes” of celebration before turning her focus to the critical Georgia Senate runoff elections in January.
这一年，很少有人像公平斗争（Fair Fight）的创始人和投票权倡导者斯泰西·艾布拉姆斯（Stacey Abrams，排名第100位）那样巧妙地利用他们的力量。这位前州议员通过帮助佐治亚州（Georgia）约80万人登记投票，助力民主党总统候选人28年来首次赢得了该州的选举。她的工作还没有结束--她说她给自己“17分钟”的庆祝时间，然后把注意力转向1月份关键的佐治亚州参议院第二轮选举。

但正是由于这种不断付出，以及许多像她一样的女性的努力，这位即将成为副总统的人所说的话才会实现。哈里斯在11月说：“虽然我可能是这个职位上的第一位女性，但我不会是最后一位。”
