Yesterday's Women Leaders There was a time when a woman's place was to keep a man happy and be quiet about it. Mother's taught their daughters to be seen and not heard. They warned about men's negative opinion of women who voiced opinions or made themselves conspicuous. There was also a time when we were sheltered, docile creatures who let men rule the world. That was yesterday. Today’s Women Leaders Today, some of the most articulate spokespeople for our society are women with ideas, purpose and persuasive ability. Before John Kerry, three of the previous four U.S. Secretaries of State were women. We are in politics, the professions, in science and the arts. The media is teeming with bright, interesting women who have something to say. The women who have risen to the top ranks in corporate America didn't achieve their positions by sitting back and letting others take the lead. In 2013, women leaders have found our voices. Now it's time for all of us to learn how to use those voices effectively. Communication Skills & Connection for Women Today's guest is popular media personality and spokesperson, Jennifer Wilcov. Jennifer is the host of the weekly syndicated show, “Your Book Is Your Hook” and a best-selling author.
