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:

• We see you: Top US universities invite fewer women speakers than men. And it's not because there aren't enough women, nor because they're turning down invitations…
• Story time:A look at ancient storytellers helps us understand what stories contribute today.
• What's next? The folks at TED are always focused on what's next. Take a peek...
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at Arianna Huffington's mansplaining moment at the Uber all-hands meeting, Kamala Harris's interrupted Senate hearings, and what happened on my blog hiatus. And we ended the week--and the year--with our top 10 most-read public speaking tips and 2017's backlash against women speaking up: 14 big examples. An ambitious comeback from hiatus, indeed.
• About the quote: Eve Ensler nails it in this quote.
