The Mail & Guardian Book of South African Women is an annual publication that celebrates the accomplishments of 100 newsworthy women. It was launched in 2008 and the selection is wholly nominated by the public but the final 100 is chosen by the editorial board.

The result is a mixture of well-established industry personalities and future industry leaders.

The women were chosen in categories ranging from arts, business, civil society, environment and media, to politics, science and technology, health, education and sport.

Nic Dawes, editorin-chief of the Mail & Guardian, said: This is not a directory of the most influential women in the country, although certainly many of those represented occupy positions of considerable power. Instead it is an annual effort to discover and represent people who are doing transformative work.

He added that 80% of those featured are making their debut in the book, that many of them are young, and perhaps less well known. But this doesnt mean that they are any less worthy of recognition, said Dawes, than the female icons who cant be left out of any such list.

The sponsor of the publication is banking group Nedbank. (Brand South Africa)
