Being Bold - Maybe Tomorrow...

This morning, Lester Thurow was talking about the necessity of being bold in different aspects. One of them was being bold in the gender aspect. There is no reason that men should rule the world, he said, we really need to turn to the women as well, it's vital. However, looking at the agenda, the 15 presentations yesterday were all made by men and also today the stage has belonged to the men. For someone interested in gender studies it would have been fun to know if the discussion on networks (brief) and competitiveness (extensive) had turned out differently with some female voices in the choir.
