Launching the new Lorry I. Lokey Business School at MILLS College...a truly great event that felt historic. Lokey spoke as did Mills President Janet Holmgren -- both EXTREMELY well done...notes from Lokey below.
Ellen Goodman gave the main speech. Simply put, it was about the entire late-twentieth-century Women's Movement as it relates to work.
The speech and the delviery were both grounded, funny, profound and timely...and to be so surrounded by every variety, flavor, pre-Feminist, post-Feminist, pure-Feminist, cyber-cousine, female change agent, each surrogate and as-yet-unimagined prototype possible...it is a new age.

and i'd love to have a transcript of Goodman's speech. my mother (may she rest in peace) was one of Harvard Med's first female graduates. She raised four children. And helped to build a cancer center for children at Johns Hopkins Hospital, along with training several important, practicing Pediatric Oncologists.
There are a couple Brigid Leventhal grants and awards in her memory, many to promote professional training for women. she was everywhere in that day for me.
