| When the nationwide group Peace Links awarded former First Lady Rosalyn Carter their annual Eleanor Roosevelt Living World Award, it wasn't a plaque or a paperweight that Hilary Rodham Clinton handed the Georgia gentlewoman. It was a metal sculpture of a leaping figure, a sylph -- a burst of energy captured mid-moment. Entitled Song of Another Voice, the sculpture symbolizes the moment an idea takes form, the unleashed energy of an inspiration, the moment that hope is set free in a frozen world.
Peace Links has given copies of Tim Holmes's Song of Another Voice as its most prestigious award "honoring prominent women who make significant contributions to the global perspective on peace, justice and the survival of the planet." That year, the recipient was Gro Harlem Brundtland, former prime minister of Norway & chair of the World Commission on Environment and Development. Soviet Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space (in 1963), received it in 1990 and Loret Ruppe, our ambassador to Norway, in 1991. |
