Marta de Fox has used the visibility afforded to the wife of Mexico's President to take strong stands on social issues. She has been effective in her support of a wide array of social causes, including involvement in one program that reduced the incidence of physical handicaps in Mexican newborns by 70 percent. She has helped provide access to computers to underprivileged youth, and has chaired numerous organizations that work on behalf of women, children, healthcare, and education.

A powerful voice on women's issues and social responsibility, Marta de Fox has played an active role in Mexico's democratization, and offers audiences unique insight into the challenges facing Latin America.

Marta de Fox is a mother of three. Prior to her marriage to Vicente Fox, she served as his communications director as he rose from governor to presidential candidate to president, and was the first woman to act as the federal government's spokesperson. A brilliant innovator, Marta de Fox revolutionized the way the Mexican government communicated with the public, and ushered in a new era of transparency in the government's dealings with the press.
