Laura was in 7th grade. We were chatting over breakfast about something we heard on the news that must have been about women in business. I said that I considered myself a feminist. Laura recoiled. NO! Yes! NO! Yes, I am and I’m proud of it. You know, I told her, feminism is not a dirty word. Well, she said, I’m not one. Ok. Whatever.
Years later, while at work one morning, I received an instant message from Laura, who was now in law school. She asked me if I had seen a story on the morning news about Maria Shriver’s new book. She said I would like it and that I had some good stories to put down on paper, much like Maria Shriver. And, oh by the way, Laura was now a feminist. GOOD JOB!!
