A picture of a library shelf with a small rolled up note on it. The note says “read this” in child’s handwriting.

A picture of the note unrolled. In the same child’s handwriting it reads “beware of the future!!”

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

Reminds me of work showing that women acknowledge that sexism happens in general but are far less likely to report that sexism has happened to them, perhaps for some of the same reasons that you lay out here.

6. So if you are ever out there feeling alone because of something like this, hi! I am your gal, please reach out any time. In the meantime as I walk through this process, I'll try to let it turn me more into the person I want to be. /End

5. I hesitate to share this news publicly in part because of how some colleagues might respond. But, my general approach to life is to try to turn my difficulties into something that can smooth someone else's way.
