A) IWL Alumni Authors
Two of our IWL alumni are recently (or soon to be) published authors!
Congratulations to Margot and Cheryl for making your visions realities!
A
Short Course in Kindness
By Margot Silk-Forest (IWL alumna) and Catherine Ryan Hyde
More than simply thought-provoking, A Short Course in Kindness
challenges and inspires us to effect change through kindness.
In warm and engaging prose, this book explains true kindness as opposed
to mere niceness and explores its power and benefits. It motivates
individuals to exhibit and practice kindness, describing in clear and
simple terms ways to integrate kindness as the response of choice. Included
are techniques for developing the ability to empathize with others and
strategies for being kind to oneself.
This book was co-authored by Margot Silk-Forest, IWL alumna. She credits
IWL, Rayona and what she learned in Women Leading Change as helpful forces
in writing and publishing this book.
No Horizon is So Far
By Cheryl Dahle (IWL alumna), Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen
From Cheryl: The book is a non-fiction account of the first two
women in history to cross Antarctica on foot. It will be in bookstores
by the end of September. I was drawn to write this story not because of
the expedition itself, but for the ideals behind it. The two women
used their journey (undertaken in their mid-forties) as a way to inspire
other women and girls to pursue their dreams.
The publisher is funding a 10-city book tour for my subjects/co-authors
Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen. The word so far is that we have pre-orders
for 25,000 copies, which is pretty darn healthy for the book world these
days! It’s already available for order from Amazon!
B) Association for Women in Science
AWIS was founded in 1971 to improve education, employment, and
advancement opportunities for women in all fields of science.
The national office in Washington, D.C. influences national policy by
testimony before Congress and federal agencies. However, each local chapter
has individual programs tailored to the needs of its members. All chapters
share common goals of professional development, networking, mentoring,
community outreach and scientific literacy. Use this map
to find the chapter closest to you!
C) Great Links at Women’s International Center
The Women’s International Center (WIC) mission is to acknowledge,
honor and encourage women; to celebrate women and their positive, enduring
contributions to humanity through the Living Legacy Awards; to
inform and educate through WIC's force on the pervasive outreach of the
Internet.
5) Glass Ceiling Survey
– We have a winner!
Dr. Lydia Johnson thanks the 87 of you who responded to her request
by completing her survey about women, leadership and the glass ceiling
(April 2003 IWL eNews). The lucky winner of the $100 Staples gift certificate
was Ilene Conway! The results of the survey will be published in a future
issue.
