How we Talk About Powerful Women
Jeff Rosen has a critical piece on Judge Sonia Sotomayor in TNR, and Rebecca Traister has a good response over at Salon pointing out Rosen's ease perpetuating the male-centered language and ideas.
I though this was a literary critique of Michael Creighton's "Disclosure" which only reinforces the rule that women only get into powerful positions through sneaky, back-room dealings.
