Jeannie Ralston has, literally, done pretty much everything and been pretty much everywhere.
From hiking the Great Wall to introducing her kids to the Arab Spring to hanging out in Morocco with famous people (and not really enjoying it much), she's been there, written about that.
At 60, not only does she show no signs of slowing down, she's not really sure why anyone would expect her to. She's as vibrant, energetic, and curious as ever, and she's sharing that energy and optimism with women globally.
"We can be very proud of being women and of being women this age," she says, and we are very proud to know her.
