Alex posted a nice piece on the abilities and accomplishments of women last night, highlighting two underappreciated or “unknown” women of art and science.

What an opportunity for me to highlight this great piece by Ezra Klein (crossposted at Tapped) on inequality, “women’s issues” and “the whole culture of socialization that breeds boys to spout out their opinions and girls to demurely tuck their own away.” Needless to say my summary does the issue a disservice; go read his post. And Alex’s. And then go watch some Doctor Who.
