The Eloquent Woman's weekly speaker toolkit

I read a lot about women and public speaking, and post my finds first on The Eloquent Woman on Facebook. But I always collect them here for you on Mondays as well. Here's what I've been reading lately:

• Does uptalk serve a powerful purpose? Men do uptalk, too, yet it's women who get called on using it. But perhaps there's power in this modern way of speaking...
• Negotiation tripwire for women: 'We found that in the role-play, people were significantly more likely to blatantly lie to women." Researchers in this negotiation study wanted to test the stereotype that women are easily misled...
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at 6 public speaking tips for your next protest rally speech, and Famous Speech Friday shared Elizabeth I's 1563 speech on her singlehood, one of many she gave to Parliament when they pressed her to marry and have children. You can see the draft in her own handwriting.
• About the quote: Terry Tempest Williams on speaking with integrity.
