The “March. Madness.” Edition
Readers,
This week, say so long to March, aka Women’s History Month. Not to be a downer, but all I can say is if the current news climate is fodder for the celebrations of future Women’s History, I am not looking forward to it. But let’s see what happens in the future months — maybe if we pretend like we’re not so focused on women’s history month it will be less pressure on those who make history and it will organically and happily improve.
For many who are on Spring Break, hope you are enjoying the Spring-ish part or the Break-y part, or even a luxurious combination of the two.
Perhaps you have some extra time to consider this week’s items covering women in business, politics, media, the arts and pop culture. This week we are just a bit lighter on the politics, longer on the culture.
Send me stuff you think should go in a future edition here.

When things are looking down, you can get a shared perspective @LZFloors.
See you next week, right after what is sure to be a Foolish start to April.

We think that culture comes high and low, not much in between. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh.
