I’m so thrilled to announce that the “Supergirls Speak Out” lecture tour is off to a great start!  I kicked it off yesterday while visiting the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga.  I taught a workshop in the afternoon about finding your intrinsic worth to the amazing women of the the UTC Women’s Center’s flagship women’s leadership program, and at night, I was amazed to see that 150 people–many of them sorority women–came to see me give a lecture about my research for Supergirls Speak Out.  I had an amazing time–Chattanooga is SO beautiful–and I’m completely in love with the south now.  I ate dinner at a riverfront Italian restaurant with the Women’s Center regulars and I stayed in this beautiful bed and breakfast that made me wistful for early 20th century Tennessee.  So, thank you to the UTC Women’s Center for a great time!

In other news, my first wisdom tooth started to come in today, which is equal parts overdue, painful, and terrifying.  If I stick my fake nail in the back of my mouth, I can feel the beginnings of an extra tooth and it’s totally creepy.  (I wouldn’t be writing this if I hadn’t been sitting in LaGuardia Airport for the past 5 hours eating crappy food and breathing stale air–major flight delays because of fog ).  Whatever, it’s totally worth it for what I sense is going to be a really excellent book tour!
