Shaping The National Conversation About Ambition and Success For A New Generation
As author of The Big Life and editor-in-chief of Seventeen for the better part of a decade, I have spent my career championing young women. I have unique understanding of how a new generation of young women are redefining power and success. I’ve also hosted dozens of dinners at my home and for women’s groups across the country for the last three years, where I listened to what young women want in their lives and careers.
