Yulia Tymoshenko

In July 2005, Forbes magazine named her the 3rd of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the World.

On 28 July 2005, Forbes magazine named her third most powerful woman in the world, behind only Condoleezza Rice and Wu Yi. However, in the magazine's new list published on 1 September 2006, Tymoshenko did not even make the top 100. She was dismissed by President Viktor Yushchenko in September 2005, after only eight months on the job since leading the country’s Orange Revolution. Her coalition was unable to overcome opposition from former and now restored Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.

"Jennifer Balkan did not begin to paint seriously until 2002. Up until that point she was on a quest to do sociopolitical international work. Jennifer completed a Ph.D. in sociology in 2001 from the University of Texas at Austin. Graduate school came and went replete with repeated introspection. Although she met academic challenges, she longed for creative expression. The highlight of her doctoral education was the completion of an anthropological study on human migration in Chiapas, Mexico where she lived for a little under a year. Still feeling uncertain about her path, Jennifer remained in Austin and worked doing socioeconomic research and population analyses following graduate school. It was not until August of 2001 that she would embrace her passion, to be a painter."
