25 WOW! Women Rocked TED Global 2014 #TEDWomen
I’ve been a TEDster for almost a decade, and have had the good fortune of attending TED Global not once but twice. Lucky me!
As a feminist, I also advocate for more women on TED and TEDx stages worldwide.
For the past several years before each TED and TED Global conference I’ve compiled a list of the amazing women speakers who will take the stage. Women like Pia Mancini, a democracy activist pictured at left, who will speak at TED Global 2014.
Here are links to past lists:
- 22 Amazing Women Make History at TED 2014
- 16 Amazing All Stars at TED 2014
- 29 Women Take TED Global 2013 Stage
- 17 Women Rocked Stage @TED2012
- 31 Amazing TEDGlobal Women: A-V (2012)
- 15 Trailblazers Take The Stage (A Feminist Take on TED 2011)
I’ve also created a list of 300+ TED talks by amazing TED women. It’s here.
Here’s the list of 25 AMAZING women to grace and rock the TED Global 2014 stage in Rio de Janeiro:
