Be sure to check out Thursday’s New York Times article about my good friend Katie Orenstein’s forward-looking efforts to get more women–across generations–to pour their passion into writing op-eds. Go, Katie. You give me hope.
About Girl w/ Pen
Girl w/ Pen, founded by Deborah Siegel, publicly and passionately dispels modern myths concerning gender, encouraging other feminist scholars, writers, and thinkers to do the same. The views expressed in posts are those of the columnists and do not represent Girl w/ Pen at large.

Katie's idea is so simple and so obvious, and yet so overdue and seemingly tough to achieve. Of course we should be training women to write in public fora! Otherwise we're left with only Maureen Dowd as our representative. Yegads.
