So, this is totally true. Back in the 1950s, scientists knew that when women enter menopause, they start releasing high levels of fertility hormones in their urine.

who wondered if he could actually isolate those hormones from the urine and use it to help women who are having trouble getting pregnant. Obviously, the problem with this was that in order to test this idea,

Obviously, the problem with this was that in order to test this idea, he needed a lot of pee from older women. And that is not an easy thing to find.

he actually isolated hormones that are still used to help women get pregnant today, though now, they can be synthesized in a lab,

In part, that's just because there weren't a lot of scientists in the field who were women, to ask questions about it. And it's also not a topic that women talk about publicly.

who were women, to ask questions about it. And it's also not a topic that women talk about publicly. So there's this gap in what we know,

From the recovery room, I called Afghan women I knew, activists who were working around the country.

A feature of progress, especially for women. The arranged marriage was invented 4,400 years ago

It is a crime. Women, who five years ago were doctors, politicians, engineers and artists,

What I Got Wrong About Changing the World | Malala Yousafzai | TED · TED

in order to form business alliances during harsh agrarian times. Women were treated more like property than partners, with the husband receiving "ownership"

and it's increasingly optional. The story of the rise of singles is the story of the rise of women. And it really got rolling with the invention of the spinning wheel.

The Taliban have imposed a system of segregation and domination, a gender apartheid on millions of women and girls. For years,

But I am here to do the opposite of what the Taliban want. That is why I am taking every opportunity to show Afghan women speaking, singing, kicking a ball and standing up for their rights.

Because the artists and athletes that I work with help connect the world to the women and girls who are living through this crisis and to the belief that every life carries equal worth.

What I Got Wrong About Changing the World | Malala Yousafzai | TED · TED

What is happening in Afghanistan is a wake-up call for all of us. Because the Taliban's cruelty against women and girls did not begin in 2021.

Did you know that we make 35,000 decisions every day? As women, so many of those decisions are made to optimize for other people. What does my boss need?

and instead use this formula to ask for what you want in your life. Share this with the other women that you care about, your family, your friends,

My research team and I have been studying social environments and women's health. I've also observed the social support strategies

I've also observed the social support strategies of the women in my own network, and their struggles with weight. Although their stories shed light

how do they align with the science? In my work examining physical activity behaviors among Black women, for whom the prevalence of obesity is disproportionately higher

for whom the prevalence of obesity is disproportionately higher than white women in the United States, we have been able to describe aspects of the social context

"If my friends did not bug me, I would rarely work out," while another encouraged other women to get involved with a community that will push you towards your physical activity goals.

And I thought, wow, it would be so great to talk to the women who've been through all of this. Do they have a database

"Because we don't want to know. It'll look bad for women. And what are we going to do about it?"

And what are we going to do about it?" So I did what most women do. I felt bad and thought it was my fault.

80 percent of female Fortune 500 executives were athletes. 94 percent of the women in C-suites did sports. But between 2014 and 2020,

only six percent of the publications, six percent of the articles, focused solely on women. We've got to do better.
