The Daily Beast
A few days ago I blogged a post about March being the month in which outstanding women are featured. Today The Daily Beast has a featured article about
| Women in the World, will showcase the stories of outstanding women leaders fighting sex trafficking, child marriage, and other challenges holding back women and girls. Featuring Meryl Streep, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Her Majesty Queen Rania, and activists from across the globe, it will be a live event—live-streamed on The Daily Beast—that focuses in depth on powerful human stories about women.
The gathering will include women pioneers in government, media, social activism, business, and the arts. It’s shaping up to be an incredibly exciting three days of provocative political discussion, dramatic presentations, and fiery debate, including such terrific participants as former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright; Thomas L. Friedman; Katie Couric; Meryl Streep; Prajwala founder and anti-trafficking activist Sunitha KrishNan; Chouchou Namegabe, the Congolese anti-rape activist and journalist; Kakenya Ntaiya, the founder of girls’ schools in Kenya; Afghan women’s activist Suraya Pakzad; Barbara Walters; Christiane Amanpour; French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde; Nora Ephron; Senior Advisor to the President Valerie Jarrett, former British first lady and human-rights lawyer Cherie Blair; and many, many more. To get involved with this remarkable and important event, email us. |

A tip of my hat to The Daily Beast for calling such an array of women leaders to our attention.
