Worried that my little girl will grow up in a world that had taken great strides for what it means to be a woman while still lacking the lights years of leaps needed to make things truly equitable. Comforted that women like you are honest and provide one picture of what being informed, ambitious, and a leader can look like.

Did you see the Economist cover last week? I wrote about it on my posterous last week. "We Did It," it said, with Rosie's determined mug. Simply because we have crossed the 50% threshold for women in the workplace (regardless of salaries, leadership, etc.). Beautiful piece. Did you see the Economist cover last week?

I love this topic and you make it very relevant and personal at the same time. I work in a male dominated field and I constantly feel the gender seperation, especially in terms of body image. I don't think we have come as far as we hoped but I don't see any reason to give up. I think it is within all of us to continue to challenge ourselves regarding these topics. Bringing this topic to light is a great way to get us back on track! Thanks for the great read. Amber Sosa I have been reading your blog for a couple weeks now and I have been very impressed.

I think the most important thing you bring up is that we have to support each other. I see too little of that and wish it were better. @ Sharon - I love that you're making the effort to be a mentor to as many women as possible - that's so important and definitely helps tons of women! Kudos to you : ) @ Lindsey – Thanks for expressing your thoughts! I think the most important thing you bring up is that we have to support each other.

I totally agree with you on the miseducation of women. One of the things I have done to try to elevate the up-and-coming generation is to be a mentor to as many women as possible. I can't stress enough how important that is for us "older gals" to do. We are blazing the way, but there has to be a strong path for our fellow women to follow!
