The Women Who Built America with Norah O’Donnell

On this episode of The Forum, hosted by CNBC’s Becky Quick, Norah O'Donnell, Emmy Award-winning journalist and CBS News’ Senior Correspondent, joins Dambisa Moyo, Global Economist, Author, Board Member, Co-Principal of Versaca Investments, and Vice Chair of The Economic Club of New York, for a compelling conversation on the overlooked women who helped shape American history.
Drawing from her New York Times bestselling book, We the Women, O’Donnell explores the stories of “hidden heroes” whose contributions have long been absent from traditional narratives. From the founding of the nation to pivotal social and political movements, she highlights how women were not on the sidelines of history, but at its center.
The discussion also examines the evolving role of women in leadership, the persistent barriers to representation, and the cultural expectations that continue to shape how women are viewed in positions of power. O’Donnell reflects on her own career in a rapidly changing media landscape, sharing insights on trust, adaptability, and the future of journalism in a digital-first world.
