Worth of Female Skills →
I’m not so into declaring that traditionally male or female skills are worth more or less than one another, but I’m so into the under-understood point that women tend to possess valuable managerial, social, networking, mentoring, and connecting skills that businesses want.

The Girl Project →
I got this book for my sister for Christmas. Kate Engelbrecht sent out thousands of cameras and questionnaires to teenage girls all over the U.S. The book is a collection of the photographs and questionnaire responses.
Teen readers will be rewarded with a wonderful set of sincere, deep messages and the reassurance that they are not alone.

That thing where your best friend
lives in the Middle East in a time zone 6 hours ahead of you, but still manages to leave the song that fits your mood perfectly in your inbox to wake up to. That thing is so good.

I Love a Good Gyn
The awesome kind who is professional and ostensibly smart, but open and non-judgmental enough that you don’t mind telling her how many sexual partners you’ve had while she works between your legs. Just found mine in NYC. Huzzah!
One of my favorite enlightened guy friends commented to me and a group of girls once that most girls knew their hairdressers better than their gynecologists....

Understanding estate planning is smart and empowering at any age. When you’re ready, get your estate and will together to send your emotional shit to the next generation in a good place.

Diablo Cody is Such a Badass →
The conventional knowledge in Hollywood is that an unsympathetic female character can tank a movie. I’m hoping that’s not true. I’m knocking on wood really emphatically right now but honestly I have a lot of theories sometimes I wonder if it comes down to mommy issues. The idea of a cold, unlikeable woman or a woman who is not in control of herself is genuinely frightening to people because it...

How to Talk to Little Girls →
This article is great. Read about the messages we send to young girls.
I always bite my tongue when I meet little girls, restraining myself from my first impulse, which is to tell them how darn cute/ pretty/ beautiful/ well-dressed/ well-manicured/ well-coiffed they are.
Lisa Bloom ”nudges” against the norm by asking the little girl she meets which book is her favorite, instead of...

Carolina Alum on her Experience as a Businesswoman →
Hannah Gage, UNC Class of 1975, tells some of her story for our Alumni magazine. I’m impressed by Hannah as a woman from a small town in the South working it as an entrepreneur. I love her take on the advantage of being a relative outsider on Boards.
