Women Criminal Defense Attorneys: Thankful That Things are Changing for Girls Growing Up!

If you have any doubt that women’s issues are becoming more visible, then this toy company will change your mind. Goldie Blox is a company created by a woman named Debra Sterling, an engineer from Stanford who was always bothered by how few women were in her engineering program. So, she created a toy company that is aimed at introducing girls to the joy of engineering.

When I listened to her describe being one of few women in her field, I thought to myself… “This sounds familiar!”  Instead of being resigned to her fate as one of a few women in the field, Sterling decided to do something about it. Her message is encouraging and inspiring. Her mission is to change the way that girls play and develop critical thinking, which has a lot to do with loving engineering. Watch the video that was created to promote this new toy…. I absolutely love this!

Imagine a future when girls are encouraged from the outset that they can be anything they want - and they aren’t limited to whatever future dreams arise from playing with Barbie dolls and toy kitchens.  During this Thanksgiving season, which is a time to reflect, I am thankful that things are changing for girls and women.
