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:

• Not so grand: Grand rounds in medicine--the chance to share what you know and your best practices in front of your peers--rarely feature women physicians, even though they represent nearly half of all medical students and residents.
• Bad ratio: Goldman Sachs fielded 76 speakers at a conference. Just 5 were women. They can do better.
• Did you miss? This week, the blog looked at your motivation in Why did you say yes to this speaking gig?, and Famous Speech Friday shared 7 famous poetic speeches by women.
• About the quote: Wisdom on women and speaking from Rebecca Solnit. Find more quotes like this one on our Pinterest board of great quotes by eloquent women.
