I was about to send these links to Brady because they're the feminist type empowering get your act together variety that we love. Then I realized I should blog so everyone knows about them. So some awesome sounding projects I've heard about recently.
The OpEd Project -- Major newspapers accept opeds from women at the same rate as men. But we don't submit them, so we lose in the byline category. And if we're not representing our views, no wonder they're not being expressed. My updated life check list should include submitting an oped (and getting one published? While still being kosher about wanting to get tenure someday? And only being a grad student now? Stop doubting, self, start pushing.)
She Should Run -- OpEd project:news venues :: She Should Run:Public Leadership positions. Both about helping women overcome the barriers that (still) exist to being part of the public voice. Updated life check list also includes asking a woman to run for office.

I love this! I've heard of the OpEd project. Let's be OpEd accountability partners and encourage each other to get one submitted. What should our deadline be?
Deadline? Eeep. Don't we have enough of those already? It's a five-year list :P
Ummmm....that said, wanna try to write something in the next year?
