Glamour's Women of The Year Live Summit Focused on Politics, Persistence and Participation

Members of the Biden, Bush and Clinton families took the stage

Glamour’s second annual Women of the Year live summit, held at the Brooklyn Museum on Monday, featured panels, speeches and conversations pertinent to women’s lives in 2017.

It started with a discussion of persistence and personal perseverance with Chelsea Clinton and Laverne Cox, who shared their thoughts on the need for optimism and the importance it can have for your overall outlook.

“Optimism is a moral choice,” said Clinton, quoting World Bank president Jim Yong Kim.
