We know the power of females sharing stories, trading wisdom and learning from life lived. It's how we make sense of ourselves, the world around us, and where to chart our next course.

One of the best sources of rich, free storytelling and untold wisdom is TED which millions of people the world over jump online to watch day to day, and hear and learn from extraordinary thinkers, survivors of unimaginable adversity and ordinary people like you and me, sharing their unique spin on life.

There are thousands of talks on topics as wide-ranging as you can get.

Here are a few of our favourite talks for girls. Enjoy.

And take some TED time out this weekend to change your thinking, open your eyes and hear the stories that matter.
