Women, the 10 who marked 2022 | Wired Italy

Authors, astronauts, activists, actresses and scientists: 2022 is a year that we will also remember for all women who, with their courage, their skills and their values, have managed to achieve important results in the scientific, literary and battles for rights. The past was a year to remember for the space missions sector: Samantha Cristoforetti she was in fact nominated crew commander of the International Space Station. It is the first time for a European woman. Instead, one of the symbols of the fight for women’s rights is Mahsa Amini, beaten and killed by Iranian morality police. Her death has sparked a series of protests across the country and rallies in other countries in support of Iranian women. In the fight against the environmental crisis and the differences between the countries of the global South and the richer ones, you have spoken out Mia Amor Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, who took part in Cop27 with a speech on the inequalities that still exist between the countries of the global South and the global North.
