Breaking the glass ceiling



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.

thank you both -- have added link to front page...really, this is an event I will never forget.

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.

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews

Review: King Henry VI, Part 2

King Henry VI, Part 2 by William Shakespeare My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have just now gotten to part 2 of the Henry VI plays. the first had amazing speeches and frickin' Joan of Arc and I thought it couldn't get any better. THAN this one's got conjurors who evoke prophetic specters, multiple beheadings, and a mad rebel named Cade who just starts to try to take over the whole country, no Empire for like no good reason then gets killed after hiding ten days without food in a hedgegrove. The language is extraordinary from the get go where pious Henry says, "O Lord, that lends me life, Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!" I am going to make that my motto! View all my reviews
