Museum and Ch 9

The museum was very interesting. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to get a glimpse into the past and fully understand it. I really enjoyed the wack exhibit, and had a rude awakening of how the women felt back not so many years ago. It was a bit disturbing, the blunt artwork and nudity, but it helped me understand how women felt. I was very impressed by the exhibit. The women who created these pieces are so incredibly creative and smart, that it is sad how suppressed we have been for years. I wish we could have stayed longer, it was definitely a good trip, but a long commute. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to leave the classroom for a bigger and better learning experience.
In chapter 9 and the afterward, I really love the interaction from advice from women leaders and their experiences. I think that Marie Wilson really asked two of the best questions that she could have asked to these women leaders, and really hit the nail on the head with the collection of these pieces of advice. The questions are, "What were your biggest obstacles to attaining leadership, and what helped you most to overcome them?" and "If you could give leadership advice to the generation that will ultimately replace you, what would it be?" Reading the advice, each one is so deep and useful. They all have such great meaning to each of us women leaders, and I know that I will use these on a daily basis.
