Many Asian women are now making their mark in such diverse fields as Politics, Business, Media and the Arts and Academia.

The Asian women profiled here are incontestable role models for their peer groups and the younger generation.
 
As "Women of Substance" they have needed courage and sheer determination to make their to make their achievements possible, changing the way in which Asian women are perceived. These are the women who have led the way, but, despite these successes, Asian women still have a long way to go!
