The Eloquent Woman's weekly speaker toolkit

Savvy speakers keep up with my wide-ranging reading list on women and public speaking by following The Eloquent Woman on Facebook, where these links and articles appear first. I always collect them here for you on Mondays as well. It's a great way to expand your public speaking knowledge:

• Siri, read this to me: Siri is dying. Long live Susan Bennett is an interview with the woman who's the voice of Apple's Siri virtual assistant, one of the most famous speaking roles ever for a woman.
• While I was out: During my social media and blogging hiatus, on just one day, we saw two high-profile episodes in which prominent women were manterrupted and told women talk too much. Susan Chira summed it up, along with the research, in The Universal Phenomenon of Men Interrupting Women. Read it. Share it. Start discussing it out loud.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at The double standard of the severed head, and Famous Speech Friday shared remarks from Bette Midler at the 2017 Tony Awards, which included a jab from the host for her long acceptance speech.
• About the quote: Don't tone it down, eloquent women. Wisdom from actor Zooey Deschanel.
