TEDxSacramento's stream of TEDxWomen -- hosted by Pat Mitchell and the Paley Center for Media - will take place at The Urban Hive on Saturday, December 1st, 2012. Themed The Space Between -- This is the second edition of TEDxWomen - the first brought to the stage speakers such as Gloria Steinem, Dr. Oz and Jane Fonda and was viewed by 120 TEDx communities around the globe. The event was inspired by TEDWomen, which took place in 2010.

This event is part of TEDxSacramento's community series--smaller events designed to engage our community in new and interesting ways--based upon sharing ideas via TEDTalks and TEDxTalks, as we aim to create a more deliberate and interconnected community of regional thought leaders. Light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Because a goal of this event is to be more intimate, tickets are limited.

This year’s speakers include:
• Julia Bluhm and Izzie Labbe: two young women who successfully petitioned Seventeen magazine to stop altering face and body shapes of girls with photoshop.
• Anita Sarkeesian: a feminist media critic who initiated a successful Kickstarter campaign to examine gender tropes in video games. Shortly after, a Flash game, where users could punch a likeness of Sarkeesian, went viral, underscoring the sexism she sought to unveil.
• Bob Woodruff: a former ABC war correspondent who suffered a traumatic brain injury while embedded in Iraq, and his wife, Lee, who will describe their journey of starts and stops.
• : a well-known feminist playwright, performer, writer, activist, and author of the The Vagina Monologues.
• Chung Hyun Kyung: a Korean spiritual leader and ecofeminist.
• Musimbi Kanyoro: head of the Global Fund for Women.
• Jessica Pabon (pictured above): on the history of graffiti artists.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to organize local, independent TED-like events around the world; and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
