Wow, has that changed! Now it's often a woman running the meeting, heading the program, or filling a major role. So yours is a good reminder to women, and men, of today's situation, and of the many advocates, yes do call them feminists, who fought those battles for equality. And how far many countries have to come yet for full rights for women. from Tom, a friend from back there Good essay Colleen, summing up especially the opportunities U.S. women have today, and how well established they are in many levels of government, business, sports, press, etc. I recall only a few decades back when seldom did you see a woman in a business meeting unless they were taking notes and bringing in the coffee.
