The statistics, indeed, are sobering. Today, a group of dedicated women at Davidson College began to make a difference. The women of Warner Hall Eating House at Davidson College sent an email to all female students and faculty, reminding them of the statistics stated in your blog. This simple act – a simple email – may not change the world. But this simple act may start conversations among women in our community, conversations that need to occur.
