31 Amazing TEDGlobal Women: A-V

Yipppeeee!!! TED is getting closer to achieving gender parity on its world stages: more than 40% of the speakers at TEDGlobal 2012 are/were women.

I watched the conference livestream (sometimes from my TEDxBed) thanks to TEDLive, the next best way of experiencing a TED conference without actually being there. In fact, in some ways, it's better.

Thanks to Bruno Giussani and the TEDGlobal team for achieving a gender parity milestone at the 2012 conference (aptly themed Radical Openness).

Here are the 31 amazing women (and links to them, some bits are still under construction...), to help you explore the power of TED Women further. Their pictures are in the same order as their names and the links below them.

Enjoy!
