First, appreciate it to the ladies that have time to comment on this WLE Blog -- most recently File suit Moore and Tanis Cornell. It can be so wonderful to acquire the conversation going about difficulties which might be vital to and even to comment on the media portrays all those concerns. More normally than not, all those commenting in print appear to be locked previously. They are able to interpret results of studies through "yesterday's" eyes, per the last weblog. I personally URGE all of you, who definitely are reading the WLE Blog, to take a few moments to be able to comment and to take the time to read the comments that many of you are taking plenty of time to share. Thanks for expressing your thoughts.
Now for some very good news -- I apologize for not running a weblog last week, when it occurred. My excuse is that normally I was too fast paced preparing for the WLE discussion in Long Beach, CA, which was kept this past Tuesday, June 8th. And, I can say in my a lot of biased opinion, that it was superb! We've been trying to find Sherry Lansing, former chair inside the Motions Picture Group of Paramount, for years. Beneath her watch, the most significant picture of all time ( blank ) Titanic - has been produced. And finally, Sherry appeared in the WLE stage as we presented her using the WLE VANGUARD Award. Wow! I pictured a very "tough" lady. Who else could make it through many years at the helm of any major motion picture facilities. Sherry was the very "picture" connected with grace, elegance, heat and brilliance. Now she heads her very own Foundation and in addition to be able to supporting tremendous initiatives in "health" research is on the mission to stop precisely what she calls one of many current number one reasons for bias - ageism. Hopefully you like to share Sherry's comments in a upcoming concerns from the WLE enewsletter - The Return. Watch for it.
Whoops : now for the good news I mentioned before. Last week, a monumental event happened. It was a very first page story inside the big apple, but I'm not sure it absolutely was big news just about everywhere. The United States Tennis Affiliation (USTA) announced that they are introducing Billie Jean King's name to the Nation's Tennis Center, with Queens, New York. In which, my dear friends, will be the site of the biggest tennis event in America - The US OPEN. This is usually a BIG deal. And is a breakthrough for girls -- not to mention an extraordinary recognize for Billie Jean King -- who truly deserves it. #1 - To a public room for a woman - can be rare. I'm looking to think of other public facilities that been titled for females - even so can't think of one. Can you. If you can, please share them with most of us.
Surely something must be named for Eleanor Roosevelt (I know you will find there's statue of the woman NYC) or Susan B Anthony. Who else. #2 - Billie Jean King was a switch in changing the realm of sports for women. In addition to being one of the greatest practicing tennis players of the woman's generation, she overcome Bobby Riggs inside the "Battle with the Sexes" on the court. I for 1 will never forget tomorrow. As a young golf player - I stumbled upon it inspiring and also extraordinary - as well as was one extra turning point that helped to changed perceptions regarding women's capabilities. Billie Jean started off playing on the public surfaces in Long Seashore CA (the very capital of scotland- this week's WLE conference), and has now done so much for making tennis a sport of your "people" and to level a "money" playing field for women. (WLE desires to honor Billie Jean, so if all of you know her remember to put us up-to-date.) Congratuations Billie Jean! And congratulations USTA!!
It was obviously a ground-breaking move on the part of vital that is led by means of insightful men...the amount of men we love! This is the kind of happening, along with the leadership of Sherry Lansing, this sends the message of which for every step in reverse there is a step forward. Maintain the faith! Let's just simply keep those measures forward increasing.
