Last week, The Daily Beast and Newsweek Magazine hosted the second annual Women in the World Stories and Solutions summit, where extraordinary leaders from every field came together. Brave dissidents speaking out against tyranny and cruelty; dedicated journalists trying to tell the truth in countries where it is a deadly vocation; foreign correspondents at risk in the vortex of wars and revolution; resourceful entrepreneurs launching self-sustaining businesses in the teeth of cultural and political resistance.

At the heart of this summit lies Newsweek and The Daily Beast’s commitment to report the potent stories that are often ignored. We want to inform fairly but frankly, too, we want to provoke action.

On opening night, women heard from  Christiane Amanpour. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave the keynote address and talked about the importance of helping women around the world saying “women’s progress is human progress and human progress is women’s progress once and for all.”   Melinda Gates provided her perspective on women’s issues.  View Hillary Clinton’s keynote address by clicking here.
