March 8 was International Women’s Day, and though few people remember this occasion in America, in Russia we celebrate it as a major national holiday. Every March since my Soviet childhood I was reminded to appreciate all the intelligent and hard-working women who have played a pivotal role in my life and generally made our world a better place. This month my travels took me West to East—from New York to London to Paris to Dubai to Baku to Moscow—and everywhere I went I kept bumping into the wonder women of today, who are curating, creating insightful and powerful artworks, and building art fairs, galleries, museums, and nonprofits.
