How can teenage girls get ahead in a male-dominated world? BBC News

How would a successful businesswoman deal with a classroom joke about gang-rape? How would an African political leader address the age-old custom of putting a price on a young bride? How did a world-famous editor juggle motherhood and journalism? Teenagers Lulu, Shoeshoe and Vigdis recently featured in a BBC documentary — All That Stands in the Way — about the obstacles they already face in life as young women. Now they are in New York for a special conversation with women pushing hard for success and equality in their fields. Along with Annique and Nawaal, two local teenagers, the girls meet Tina Brown, ex-editor of the New Yorker, Vanity Fair and the Daily Beast and now head of the Women in the World summit See how it turned out — and watch the original programme here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayj9EVc2ZLI
