Biden Owens is a long-time campaign manager, advisor and confidante to her brother, President Joe Biden. In 2020, she ran the most successful of these campaigns, helping her brother win the presidency.

In 1972, she became one of the first women in the U.S. to manage and win a Senatorial campaign. Over the last 15 years, she has traveled with Women’s Campaign International to teach political skills to women from Afghanistan, Liberia and beyond.

In June 2021, she announced a new book deal: «Growing Up Biden» will be released by a division of Macmillan in April 2022.

The inaugural class of entrepreneurs, leaders and creators are part of an exhilarating movement redefining life’s second half and proving that success has no age limit. These dynamic women, growing older is about getting wiser—and bolder.

Selected from a pool of more than 10,000 nominees, the members of the 50 Over 50 are founding and running companies at scale ($20 million or more in revenue for for-profit companies), leading movements and changing the world. They’re working across all sectors of the American economy—venture capital, education, politics, major league sports and more—and, importantly, they’re paying forward their after-50 success.

In a moment when a global pandemic has pushed a disproportionate number of women out of the workforce—and, among this demographic, forced hundreds of thousands into too-early retirements—it is our hope that the stories of the women on this list resonate, inform and inspire.

To bring this list to life, Forbes partnered with Mika Brzezinski, a journalist, best-selling author, co-host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe and founder of Know Your Value, a digital platform and community focused on empowering women to express their personal worth and achieve gender equity in the workplace.
