I remain deeply grateful to Nancy, who opened a door for me at the World Bank back in 1988. One of her articles at that time—“Robin Hood and Other Themes…”—was particularly influential, helping me understand the core objective that guides development policy.
Love this so much! Nancy Birdsall is truly a legend, who in turn recruited, mentored and launched more legends. Little wonder my dad toasted her in his father-of-the-bride speech at my wedding. So enjoyed this trip down CGD and Nancy Birdsall memory lane.

A great tribute!
well done.
What a beautiful tribute to such an extraordinary woman! How lucky we all were to have had learned from Nancy!!
Thank you Nancy for your "necessary disruption" and for you Todd for stewarding this torch.
