In 2011 Mika Brzezinski released her powerful New York Times bestselling manifesto, Knowing Your Value: Women, Money and Getting What You're Worth—a must read for women everywhere.

Brzezinski and NBCUniversal News Group announced their partnership last month and will divulge some details about the year-long effort today. The tour—created to empower women and provide them with tools to live better lives—will touch down in five U.S. cities beginning April 10 in Philadelphia.

Brzezinski, the daughter of former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski and an alumna of Williams College, has long been a champion of equality for women in the...
