She turned a solo cause into a global treaty in six years flat, rallying governments to ban anti-personnel landmines and collecting a Nobel Peace Prize before age fifty for rewriting the rules of war.

About this person

Jody Williams was born October 9, 1950, an American who would spend decades in political activism with a sharp focus on human rights, particularly women's rights, and security redefined for a changing world. Her signature campaign targeted anti-personnel landmines, weapons that maim long after conflicts end. The drive succeeded: in 1997 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work toward banning and clearing the mines. The recognition arrived not for theory but for measurable shift - a treaty, a movement, ground cleared.
