Happy Summer!
Dear Readers, we’re taking today off in honor of Memorial Day in the US and the Spring Bank Holiday in the UK. And, we have something exciting planned for the summer… We want to hear more from you! We’re looking for contributors to our Intrepid Woman article series. The series chronicles the stories of professional women stepping out of their comfort zones passionately and courageously. Recent Intrepid Women include:
- Chrissi McCarthy, Founder of Constructing Equality, who spent time building a school in Uganda.
- Margaret Schramm Horn, who traveled to Haiti to help medical teams following last year’s earthquake.
- Rachel Cook, who left her job as a futures trader to create a documentary on microfinance.
- Cleo Thomspon, founder of The Gender Blog, who volunteered in Goa to teach school children.
Previous Intrepid Women have also included a lawyer / volunteer fire fighter, a marketing executive who scaled the Great Wall, and our former editor Pamela Weinsaft – who wrote about her expedition to Antarctica. We’ve also visited trapeze school, sky diving class, and even the Russian Bath House here in New York.
