CECILE RICHARDS
If you don't recognize her face, that should be an indication to start keeping up with the news. Cecile Richards is the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Yes, she is the woman who has worked fearlessly to ensure that all women can have access to reproductive health services such as birth control, STD testing, emergency contraception... basically every need that is vital to a woman's health. And this year, Congress almost defunded Planned Parenthood - and Richards stood firm to make sure that didn't happen.
