In December 2016 the Group of Friends for Gender Parity mounted an exhibit at the UN called `HERstory: A Celebration of Leading Women in the United Nations.` The purpose of the exhibit was to highlight the contributions made by the inspiring and pioneering women who were the first to hold and succeed in senior UN positions, and to identify key milestones in the advancement of women and gender parity in the Organization`s history. The exhibit has since been enthusiastically received in showings at the UN Office at Geneva and at UNESCO in Paris. The great response from the exhibit`s different audiences led Ambassador Alya Ahmed Saif Al-Thani of the Mission of the State of Qatar to the UN and Ambassador María Emma Mejía Vélez of the Mission of Colombia to the UN to decide to turn the exhibit into a book. It is hoped that the book, `HERstory: Celebrating Women Leaders in the United Nations,` will promote widespread awareness of the contributions made and the leadership role played by women in the UN, immortalizing their legacy. It is also hoped that `HERstory` will help to support and accelerate the advancement of gender balance throughout the UN system. The book will be made widely available as a reference and resource tool to academics, researchers, organizations and institutions involved with and interested in women`s and gender issues, and the intersection of women`s and political studies. The main body of this publication is a record of women`s `firsts` in the UN from 1945 to early 2018, and includes photographs, brief biographies and quotations. Information about key UN events and decisions, and images of historical texts are also featured. Additionally, `HERstory` includes a Foreword by current UN Secretary-General António Guterres, an Afterword by General Assembly President Miroslav Lajcák, and an Introduction by Ambassadors Al-Thani and Mejía. It also features an essay on Leadership by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, and essays on the three pillars of the UN by former President of Ireland Mary Robinson (Human Rights), Dr. Noeleen Heyzer (Development) and Major General Kristin Lund (Peace and Security).
