Now, this is a superwoman! A Bangladesh woman is helping to improve the lives of thousands and trying to ensure free education for girls in her country. You go, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina!

Most of the women who take on leadership positions get accused of being the dreaded B-word. This article dissects how women can be effective leaders, without falling into the B-category. I'm not sure that consciously tempering your leadership style to be more feminine is really "empowering" but if you're just being a woman in a leadership position, then so be it. 

1. I want to follow this series of articles over the next few months.

The inspiring story of Andy Weir and how The Martian went from book to blockbuster movie!

Best Places for Women Entrepreneurs are mostly in CA and CO and none of them are major metropolitan cities, except for one. Why are none of the major cities on this map? What is the deal with that? 

What a great idea! The American Farm Bureau Federation put together a Women's Communications Boot Camp for some of the farming industry's female leaders. Wish they did this for the non-profit world, and our government leaders!

I completely agree with this article. There are obviously more attributes a leader should have, but these three are a good start.

I don't know what it is, but I have absolutely no interest in watching Supergirl. Maybe I'm just not into people running around in spandex jumpsuits. Or maybe I'm skeptical that Hollywood can actually make a strong, compelling female super hero. However, after reading this Variety article, perhaps I should give it a shot. I like shows that are purposefully diverse in their casting. However, I've heard that the show isn't really that great for female empowerment. So, what, I wonder, is the disconnect between their intentions and the show?
