In collaboration with Moms First, a nonprofit fighting for the structural changes women need and deserve, Marie Claire is thrilled to present our first-ever Power Moms List.
To use an appropriate turn of phrase: It's due. As this year's honorees prove, moms are revolutionizing a world that works better for parents (and by proxy, all of us, really). They show up in the hardest of times, like Laura Modi and Sarah Hardy, co-founders of the infant formula company, Bobbie, who jumped into action during the California wildfires, donating formula to families in need. Or, take Power Mom Gabrielle Union, who says that her full-throated advocacy for her children isn't "revolutionary or groundbreaking," but merely "common sense, kindness, compassion," and in the process, is setting the example for the transformative power of acceptance.
They are just a few of the remarkable moms we're honoring. Read the full list, and their stories, below.
