TEDxWomen

Female and male innovators in fields ranging from social justice to personal health will gather for a daylong series of conversations about women. Paley Center president Pat Mitchell kicks off the four-part event by talking about overcoming adversity, with television icon Barbara Walters, activist Jill Iscol and author Rachel Simmons (Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls). The day continues with a foray into women’s health and well-being hosted by actor and fitness guru Jane Fonda, and featuring renowned feminist Gloria Steinem. Actor Jennifer Siebel Newsom (Something’s Gotta Give) and journalist Lisa Ling sit on a closing panel that examines future opportunities for women in realms such as business, the arts and science. If you can’t snag one of the coveted tickets, you can watch a live stream of selected discussions at one of several satellite venues or on the Web.
