I just returned from giving a talk at the first ever TEDWomen in Washington, DC. It was an amazing two days, and I wrote about it today on my blog. There you will find a slide show of many of the speakers and of the exhibit I curated. Many thanks to Pat Mitchell for inviting me to speak at what for me was a life-changing event. And I met some amazing people. My hope is that this will bring more awareness to the issues concerning women, and also increase the number of speakers who are women at TED conferences in the future. I also wrote a blog for The New Yorker on my talk.
hi liza – thanks for a memorable and amusing talk, a favorite from the conference. loved your story as well and think about it as i try to expose my kids (four of them!) to a wide variety of activities to see what sparks. thank you for the sharing and the inspiration, a highlight in what was an incredible two days.
cheers,
lilian
You are very welcome! And thank you for saying that, it makes me happy!
Hi Lilian, Thank you so very much for your comment. I am sorry I did not respond earlier. It was a great conference, wasn’t it? I so enjoyed it, and met so many wonderful people. Take care, and I wish you and your daughters well! Best wishes, Liza
