Speaking While Female

I met Dana Rubin on Linked In and although I never expected to create a close friendship virtually, it happened nonetheless. I deeply admire the work that Dana is doing to right the wrongs of history with respect to the glaring lack of female speeches in our history books. Dana posts almost daily on LinkedIn about courageous women who spoke out, even at their own peril for what they believed in. Her posts are always inspiring and it occurred to me that she should compile them into a book. In 2022, Dana created a Kickstarter campaign for Speaking While Female and I am happy to share that Sisters-in-Script was one of her first supporters.
