“While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.” Vice president-elect of the United States, Kamala Harris, a new entrant on Forbes world’s most powerful women of 2020 list, spoke these words after it was apparent the Democratic party had won the elections. These powerful words are likely to resonate with every woman whose goal is to see women excel in their chosen fields.
