"I have seen more women leading as CEOs, especially start-ups,” said Charlene Li, Founder of Altimeter Group. “In my time as an analyst at Forrester, almost ten years from 1999 to 2008, I saw only seven women CEOs in briefings. I now see that many in a year, which is very, very refreshing and reassuring. Something is working, and thank goodness, as there is abundant research that shows that having women on leadership teams – and leading organizations – is an essential part of creating a successful organization."

Super intern Maeghan Smulders lands 47 job offers (and one job) after 112-day speed interning spree
I met Maeghan Smulders as she was cruising through San Francisco, and was so impressed with her, and her story.
If you know of any college students or interns, I highly recommend sharing this with them to remind them of what’s possible if they put their mind to it!
Here’s all the (impressive) press she received:
- Cover of Toronto Star
- Radio Interview CJAD Montreal
- Talent Egg (American/Canadian Job resource for students)
- Cover of Job Posting Magazine
- CBC Q radio
- Mention in MacLean’s Magazine
Go, Maeghan, go!

Tomgram: Rebecca Solnit, The Archipelago of Arrogance | TomDispatch
Inspiring.
“The battle with Men Who Explain Things has trampled down many women — of my generation, of the up-and-coming generation we need so badly, here and in Pakistan and Bolivia and Java, not to speak of the countless women who came before me and were not allowed into the laboratory, or the library, or the conversation, or the revolution, or even the category called human.”

Celebrating Women Entrepreneurs: The Magnitude of the Movement : Innovation :: American Express OPEN Forum
Excellent infographics.
Consider the positive economic impact that women-owned businesses are having on the country. The estimated 8.3 million women-owned businesses in the United States employ 7.7 million people. That’s an impressive number.
This week, as we share more results from American Express OPEN’s study The State of Women-Owned Businesses, we’d like to give a special nod to those companies in certain regions who have achieved outstanding growth. We’re taking a look at the “magnitude of the movement” in these regions. Women are having a seismic impact on our economy, creating jobs and driving innovation. It’s important for women to mentor and share ideas with each other, and also offer insight into overcoming business challenges; this is the recipe for success. That’s why this space and this dialogue are so important. We want to keep the focus on the progress these small businesses are making, so we can all continue to support businesses run by women.

"Having a non-trivial number of women submitting presentations seems to have made it so that a non-trivial number of women are speaking at No Show Conference."

Haha… love it.
You go girl.

“I, myself, have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is. I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a door mat or a prostitute.”
