In the Moves universe, the definition of a Power Woman is one who can influence and inspire with an ability to effect positive change and always an awareness of consequence. The very concept of power is multifaceted—often misunderstood and most certainly abused. But a Moves Power Woman is dedicated to making a difference: strong, savvy, and successful, she leads by example and exemplifies her individuality in the process. These women are role models for future generations. Moves Magazine was started 20 years ago with a simple ethos: “Any one woman is worth any ten men.” A polemic, an idle boast, even the stuff of fantasy you might say; but an eight-word, single line proclamation that started many conversations, ignited heated arguments, and left no one in any doubt of our position: a position backed up and borne out by the obvious imbalance in our society’s priorities and values. The women portrayed in this collection—21st Century Women—embody this truth. Pioneers, leaders, and even visionaries who have shattered glass ceilings with one eye on the future and one eye on the women who are coming up behind them. They defied expectations and crafted new possibilities. In these pages, you’ll find an archive of photoshoots taken nationwide and internationally. We spent the spring and summer photographing power women from the past 20 years as well as this year’s 2023 honorees. Each picture celebrates contributions to diverse fields such as technology, arts, business, science, politics and social activism. Each year for two decades, the work that goes into putting together the Power Issue is nothing short of remarkable. Months of research and round table discussions on potential honorees, reaching out to invite involvement, coordinating schedules, story-boarding, shoot production, and weaving it all together in a powerful theme that pervades each issue. As we turn the page on 20 years together, let us celebrate these women and their stories, not just as individual achievements, but as collective milestones in the ongoing pursuit of gender equality and empowerment. This book is a tribute to the resilience of women, an homage to their strengths, and a testament to the extraordinary heights they can reach when they are given the opportunity to soar. There are too many people to thank, from photographers, artists of hair and makeup, stylists, publicists, shoot locations and staff, to the sponsors, advertisers, event staff and gala attendees. On behalf of the magazine, I thank you. Welcome to 20 years of Moves Power Women.
