Tina Brown Kicks Off Women in the World 2013 with Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie and More

For the fourth annual Women in the World Summit, Tina Brown and Newsweek Daily Beast gathered remarkable women of all stripes to highlight their sisters around the globe and provide solutions to atrocities like the honor killings in Pakistan and the tens of thousands of rapes in Syria.

In her opening remarks Thursday at Lincoln Center, Brown urged everyone in attendance to take Sheryl Sandberg’s advice a step further and “lean ON” companies and governments to do a better job at protecting and propelling women forward.
