A colleague forwarded me this post, which I read it with great interest. If you'll remember in my predictions for 2011, I estimated there would be more start-ups lead by women. I probably should amend that, since more women are going to college, the chances of someone being the next superstar (for 15 minutes anyway) are increasingly female.   Nothing has happened yet to make me change my mind, and in fact, we can now see it coming thanks to that article from Forbes.  

My mother was one of thousands who, in 1972, marched in Washington for the proposed Equal Rights Amendment.  Yes, I'm old enough to remember her doing that.  The ERA made it out of Congress and was sent to the states for ratification. Twenty-two states ratified it the first year it was out, but it fell three states short of become a part of the U.S. Constitution.  My mom always knew the day would come when there wouldn't be a need for a constitutional amendment declaring, "equal rights under the law shall not be abridged on the account of sex."
