Friday Femme Fatale: Social Media, Book Lists & Beth Ditto

categories: Friday Femme Fatale, Health, Media, News

Published November 06, 2009 @ 11:22AM PT

This weekend I am taking a reprieve from the bright lights of New York City and heading to Washington, DC for a few days to do some speaking at the Pledge2Protect conference and visit old friends.

Additionally, for those who wonder what I do over at my full-time gig, Air America Media, I just published this column today in SmartBrief titled: Can social media save the radio star?

I hope you all are gearing up for some rest and relaxation this weekend as well, but before you unplug completely check out the stories you may have missed in the world of women's rights:
