Welcome to InStyle’s second Badass 50 Women list. After we launched our first Badass Women issue (starring Serena Williams) to great success last August, we decided there are just too many amazing women out there for one annual special alone. The women featured below consistently show up, speak up, and get the job done. Here, we honor these ladies for their badass contributions to science, social justice, law, politics, and many more industries.
