This week I wrote about two clear cases of implicit gender bias that have me fuming.
It all started when a friend sent me an article about a male university professor who has set out to rectify the gender imbalance in superheroes. Good idea, right? Read my commentary here and let me know what you think.
And while you’re pondering the relationship between superheroes and implicit gender bias, do take this last chance to get your ticket to:
I want to make absolutely sure you get the ticket of your choice as space is limited--the theater is small.Make Sure You Get Your Tickets Here This special play (and the audience conversation led by Gloria Steinem, and I might have a word or two to say), is indeed so special, it could be renamed "Gloria: A Hell of a Life."
A generous donor has "bought the house" so every penny you donate goes to Take The Lead’s training, mentoring, coaching, role models, and thought leadership programs that will advance women to parity in leadership by 2025.
