One third of the speakers on the TED 2014 main stage will be women. An additional 16 will participate in the "All Star" sessions, which again represents about one third of the sessions' speakers.
I believe stages everywhere (including those at TED and TEDx conferences) should reflect the ratio of women to men in the world's population (i.e. about 50:50).
This is an easy-to-scan alphabetical list of all the TED and TEDx Women talks I've posted on AWR to encourage more women to Speak Up, Speak Out, and Take the Stage.
It's alphabetical by first name because...well, because that's how it turned out!

The key, she realized: training robots to interact with people. Now she dreams up and builds robots that teach, learn -- and play.
