It's A New Year

While I am not quite over my fairy tale rant, it is a new year so I'll pick that back up later. As for now, let's concentrate on recent accomplishments of women so we can use that as the kickoff for 2011. Let's celebrate and be inspired by:

  • Elena Kagen who is now a Supreme Court Justice, one of only four women to ever hold that position.
  • Ursula Burns, the Cheif Executive Officer of Xerox, and the first black woman to become a CEO of a fortune 500 company.
  • Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to ever win an Academy Award for best director. 

What are we going to do this year to change the face of history?
