Paul, thank you for response. I understand not wanting to get into the political, although I would suggest that featuring women shouldn't be considered political. I shall work on a list of women in permaculture to suggest. Until then, I shall just quote Karryn Olson-Ramanujan from the “Permaculture Activist” magazine: "Though women receive the majority of all college degrees in the U.S., and are well represented in the work force, they are very under-represented in positions of high-level leadership. Most of the women I’ve encountered in permaculture note analogous patterns: often, women constitute 50% or more of the participants in PDCs, yet occupy disproportionately few of the positions of leadership and prominence in lucrative roles, such as designers, teachers, authors, speakers, or “'permaculture superstars.'" thus despite a lot of beautiful work of women within permaculture, it can be difficult to pinpoint "leaders."
