Smart Sisterhood: Women's Forum for the Economy and Society

Today's New York Times has an article on Women's Forum for the Economy and Society.  The Forum is described as a female-friendly alternative to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  In addition to discussing timely public policy issues, the assembled women considered the challenges facing women in the workplace and elsewhere.

The number of female leaders at the highest levels in politics and business are very small.  And the conversation  continues to whether this problem is caused by individual choices or structural societal problems.

Meanwhile, the Forum participants interviewed in the story were energized by the networking, support and role models.  Seems like a step in the right direction.
