of State Hillary Clinton, Somali mother-daughter doctors Hawa Abdi and Deqo
Mohamed, Nobel Peace laureate Jody Williams, Egyptian-American blogger Mona
Eltahawy and media mogul Ted Turner to name a few.
On those days, more than 100+
self-organized TEDx events connected to the TEDWomen conference, enabling the
live participation of over 10,000 people on every continent and in every time
zone.
