National Geographic Magazine (November, 2019) Women A Century of Change FRAMING HISTORY IN PHOTOS FROM THE ARCHIVE: Say you had an archive with tens of millions of images taken all around the globe, since the late 1800s... what stories would they tell about the lives of women? In this feature, National Geographic's director of photography, Sarah Leen, explores the images in the archive and considers how they can tell the stories of women's lives from around the world over the past 120+ years. WOMEN IN THE MILITARY: As militaries open front-line roles to women, the rise in opportunities is undeniable. They are serving on front lines in armed conflicts and acting as peacekeepers in the world's hot spots. In this feature, a veteran conflict photographer documents women warriors in training and in the field around the globe. EXCLUSIVE: Newest global rankings on the state of women around the world place Norway first and Yemen last. SAFE CITIES: India's urban women have long risked harm just by walking down the street.

RWANDA'S RENEWAL BY WOMEN: Remaking Rwanda: After the 1994 genocide, women stepped up to fill the gaps in power. Now Rwanda has some of the most female-friendly policies in the world.
