From the Arab Spring to the U.S. State Department, as government leaders and as top company executives, we are seeing unprecedented numbers of women involved in shaping their own companies and individual countries.

Yet why do so many still view women as weak, subjugated, and voiceless? Women from all around the world must come together for discussion on topics ranging from the motherhood to feminism.

City Island Images invites all fearless reformers, leaders and artists to help redefine what it means to be a modern woman.
