In honor of #InternationalWomensDay here are some cool @vox_dev columns and videos that I went back to this morning...
First up, a great interview from #VoxDevTalks with #ChrisWoodruff on how women are becoming managers in #Bangladesh @timsvengali
voxdev.org/topic/firms-tr…
Second: the role of skill building and training for adolescent girls in #Uganda & #Libera by @markus_gold
"Gender-sensitive youth employment programmes combining income generation & life skills training can be effective in helping adolescent girls succeed"
voxdev.org/topic/labour-m…
Third: the long term effects of #Mexico's Progressa cash transfer program by @susanwparker_mx and #TomVogl
"Conditional transfers in childhood improve education, labour, and economic outcomes in adulthood, especially for women"
voxdev.org/topic/public-e…
Fourth: a great video by @femonomics on her work with @profnavaashraf @BauNatalie & #KathleenMcGinn
"Training girls in Zambia to negotiate saw them use strategies to secure household resources to stay in school longer, even in the face of poverty"
voxdev.org/topic/health-e…
Last but definitely not least: impacts of role models. Watching Queen of Katwe, a movie about a girl from the slums of #Kampala winning chess olympiads, improved math test scores among high schools kids (both girls and boys)
@QueenOfKatwe @MiraPagliNair

Forgot to add that this last column @vox_dev about Queen of Katwe was written by @EmmaRiley19 who by the way just successfully defended her thesis @UniofOxford @oxford_csae - congrats, Emma!!!

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay (and inspired by @kathryncasteel), a short and woefully incomplete thread of women who’ve inspired me in journalism.
Starting with @ForsythJenn, the best editor I’ve ever had (and I’ve had some great ones!), who taught me more than she’ll ever know, and whose team @WSJ is generating huge story after huge story.
@andreaskaren & @HelenGiffordSN gave me my start in journalism (and forgave me when I made some big mistakes), and stood up for their reporters no matter what.

Not to worry, Matt. I'll break it down for you. In honor of #InternationalWomensDay (A thread)
I'm going to talk about black women too, because it is well-documented in the literature that black people, and other minority groups in the U.S. experience more illness, worse outcomes, and premature death compared with whites. (Source: cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/…).
Racial and ethnic disparities in pain perception, assessment, and treatment have been found in all settings (i.e., postoperative, emergency room) and across all types of pain (i.e., acute, cancer, chronic nonmalignant, and experimental). (Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)

On this day 24 years ago, my family arrived in the United States of America, a land of democracy and opportunity
Today, I have the honor to vote with the likes of John Lewis—a man who put his life on the line for voting rights— to strengthen that democracy
It’s also not lost on me that today is #InternationalWomensDay. What better way to celebrate than to join the first female Speaker of the House and a record number of women in Congress to restore our democracy?

WOMEN //a thread//

I was raised by all women.

My father had gotten my mother pregnant when she was just 15. His father
insisted on an abortion or he'd 'write my pops out of the will'. My pops bailed.

My mother raised me--and 4 siblings--mostly alone.

#HappyWomensDay2019
Mom's water broke in biology class. she finished HS--preggo--with me, in 1975. There's pictures of me as the little cheer squad mascot for the #RioLindaKnights.

As I grew up, I remembered the power and influence and wisdom of WOMEN in my life. My Great Grandmother was the key:
Great Grandma Florence had bought 3/4 of an acre in #NorthSac (w/ her husband), when acres were $5.00 ea. They couldn't afford a full one! Great Grandpa died & I never knew him.

Grandma was our true #MATRIARCH. She had a huge garden w/veggies on one side, flowers on the other.

For all the #women who’ve ever felt disregarded, ignored, used, or silenced – you’re not alone.

It’s a #FolkloreThursday - #WomensDay story thread called

THE GOOSE GIRL
Or
“Blow Me (One Last Hat)”

IMAGE: Title card for "The Goose Girl", Robert Anning Bell, 1912
Once upon a time, a long-ruling Queen had a daughter (who we’ll call Gigi, which is long for GG which is short for Goose Girl) who she loved very much. Nice to see some genuine familial affection for once, generally it’s the parents causing the mayhem.
The time had come for Gigi to leave home & travel to a distant kingdom where her fiancé, the prince waited. As she was Queen’s only child, the departure was, emotional.
QUEEN: WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
GIGI: Mom, calm down.
Q: [sobbing] I JUST LOVE YOU SO MUCH
