Why Women Will Save The World
Lisa Powell-Graham |
TEDxAlbany
• December 2019
The 21st century will be defined by the contributions and leadership of women. It’s time for women to lead the way globally. This talk will present a vision of what that could mean for the future of the world. I will provide a lightning-quick synopsis of progress for women in the 20th century, before launching into what obstacles still exist as we work towards gender equity globally. I will also delve into the neuroscience behind why women in particular are designed to be leaders, and provide a framework for how to overcome obstacles that have stood in the way of progress for women, until now. Of course, it’s the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, and a good time to review both what has changed for women in the past 100 years and what remains the same, as well as to imagine what is possible in the next 100 years, through the power of women’s voices and votes. By smashing paradigms about what being a woman and what being a leader means, I aim to inspire TedX Albany attendees and all future online viewers with a breathtaking overview of what could be possible in the next century with women leading the way.
