Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni is Israel’s only entry on Newsweek and the Daily Beast’s “150 women who shake the world” list.

“They’re starting revolutions, opening schools and fostering a brave new generation. From Detroit to Kabul these women are making their voices be heard,” the Daily Beast’s website says.

A former lawyer known for her honesty and integrity she has been a steadfast proponent of the peace process.

She is also an active advocate for women’s and gay rights.” Read more
