Stunt Women, past and present
Submitted by Aubrey on Tue, 03/02/2010 - 12:28
For the past week, I have sifted through writings on historical events and long-since passed women of significance, battling over which event may represent women’s history at its most interesting point. And my search has proved difficult. Which got me thinking—what defines an important moment in women’s history? Is it the immediacy of the event’s effect? The number of women affected? Is it the passage of a law? The first time a woman participates in an otherwise male-dominated activity? To all of these, the answer is yes.
Good Debt

In a world where gainful employment for college graduates is sparse and tuition continues its astronomical ascent, how dangerous is your student debt? The Wall Street Journal reports how one woman, now a family practitioner, found out first hand. Michelle Bisutti finished medical school with about $250,000 worth of debt. Although this is already an intimidating amount, it has now ballooned to over twice as much at $550,000. How did this happen?
Should colleges recruit young teens?

Do you remember what it's like to be 13? Perhaps you were in the 7th grade like I was. My favorite class was Social Studies. My biggest worries revolved around getting good grades, winning sports games, and trying to stay under the radar when it came to bullies and gossip. Compared to the complexity of adulthood, I’d say I had it pretty good in junior high. At age 13, David Sills from Wilmington, Deleware has become the youngest athlete to commit to playing college football with the USC Trojans in 2015. Yes, that’s right, at 13. He’s not even in high school! Is this the right move or should college recruiting back off young athletes?

Move over Geek Dads and make way for a new breed of tech savvy moms. They are called the Digital Moms. They can blog, they can tweet and some can even write HTML. According to a report published by Razorfish and Café mom, 40% of all women online today are moms. Why? Because today’s mom has become quite adept in using technology and social media as a resource to help her “do it all”- whether it’s shopping, looking up recipes, researching about parenting or meeting other moms they turn to digital technologies to make life easier.
