EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 2 - SIT AT THE TABLE

-Our invited guests, mostly men, grabbed plates and food and sat down at the large conference table. Secretary Geithner's team, all women, took their food last and sat in chairs off to the side of the room.

-I motioned for the women to come sit at the table, waving them over so they would feel welcomed. The four women had every right to be at this meeting, but because of their seating choice, they seemed like spectators rather than participants.

-A moment when I realized that in addition to facing institutional obstacles, women face a battle from within.

-When a man fails, he points to factors like didn't study enough or not interested in the subject matter.

EXCERPT FROM CHAPTER 5 - ARE YOU MY MENTOR?

-Chasing or forcing the [mentor] connection rarely works, and yet I see women attempt this all the time.

-The question is a total mood killer, the equivalent of turning to a pensive date and asking, What are you thinking?

-I mentor when I see something and say, I want to see that grow.

-For the past decade, talk of mentorship and sponsorship has been topic number one at any womens career seminar.

-I realized that searching for a mentor has become the professional equivalent of waiting for Prince Charming.

-The acknowledgments in this book include a long list of people who have been generous enough to guide and advise me. In turn, I have tried to mentor others, including friends of friends, and as I get older, children of friends.

When Freedom Speaks - The...

Lynn Greenky

This book makes first amendment issues immediate and contemporary. When Freedom Speaks chronicles the stories behind our First Amendment right to speak our minds. Lynn Levine Greenky's background as a lawyer, rhetorician, and teacher gives her a unique perspective on the protection we have from laws that abridge our right to the freedom of speech. Rhetoricians focus on language and how it influences perception and moves people to action. Powerfully employing that rhetorical approach, this book explores concepts related to free speech as moral narratives that proscribe the boundaries of our constitutionally protected right. Using the characters and drama embedded in legal cases that elucidate First Amendment principles, When Freedom Speaks makes the concepts easier to understand and clearly applicable to our lives. With a wide range of examples and accessible language, this book is the perfect overview of the First Amendment.
