I want to close Women’s History Month with thoughts of the future.  An email from a reader last week said it perfectly: “Based on what these women have accomplished, I see great  potential for women of today and the future.”
potential for women of today and the future.”
I agree.  Tuesday night two of my daughters and I attended a program at New York’s 92nd Street Y featuring Marissa Mayer, the young woman who is Employee #20 at Google and is now vice president of location and local services.  Suddenly I felt very hopeful. After years of worrying that America wasn’t really making as much progress as we had hoped when the women’s movement built speed in the 1970s and ‘80s, I began to re-think my concern.
