March was Women’s History Month, and we focused on discovering and applauding the improvements in women’s lives and the contributions that women have made—and continue to make—in society. Like everyone, we love a good celebration! While we’re generally pretty optimistic and positive here at CWL, Katha Pollit’s article is a sobering reminder of where we are on the journey to equality. Katha was a visitor to Babson in the fall and made all of us stop and think, even while she made us laugh. Read her article. Count blessings. But don’t count chickens that haven’t yet hatched.
