The GLOBAL SOLUTIONS DESTINATION for WOMEN
Women in the World is a movement dedicated to advancing women and girls through stories and solutions.
The Women in the World Foundation was born out of Newsweek & The Daily Beast’s Women in the World summit, launched by the publications’ editor-in-chief, Tina Brown, in March 2010.
