Burch and her pal Jane Hartley, U.S. ambassador to the U.K., hosted an intimate dinner at Winfield House in London honoring women thought leaders, entrepreneurs and creatives.
The young French magician, illusionist and mentalist David Jarre made silver coins and wine bottles disappear and reappear; passed mysterious stacks of cards around the table, and played telepathic games with guests.
“I think I’m going to be up all night” trying to figure them out, said Hartley, who is the first female ambassador to the U.K. in 50 years, and the second in 200 years. Before Hartley arrived, the last woman representing the U.S. in“I understand all too well that glass ceilings remain, and I’m interested in finding ways to inspire the next generation of women who aspire to leadership,” said Hartley during the dinner in honor of women thought leaders, entrepreneurs and creatives.
She quoted her hero Madeleine Albright, and urged women to speak up “because no one can read your mind.” “But clearly, we have a very long way to go. We have not only the responsibility, but the resources, the networks, and the numbers to make a difference in ways that our foremothers could only dream of,” she said.
