On our journey to become more and more in touch with lecture and spoken word series (see our First Tuesday schedule), we welcomed our friends at Her Girl Friday at the last Tuesday in May for a panel discussion on female journalists in the work place and how to increase bylines. “Throw Like a Girl” featured a sizable crowd and lots of industry power in one room. If that isn’t enough of an indicator as to how important of an event this was, we would like to direct you to the New York Observer’s piece on the lecture and its main ideas.
We would like to thank Her Girl Friday once again for putting it all together and we look forward to bringing you more socially conscious verbal programming here at PA.
