How refreshing then to see my position put into practice this evening at Lady Parts, the first of (hopefully) many co-working sessions hosted by harbinger of civic good, Kickstarter, at their Rivington Street headquarters. ‘Twas grand to sweat it out alongside a small army of leading lady nerds: I met an architect, the senior editor of a classic feminist magazine, a few underground restaurateurs, and more than one publicist in an environment that proved conducive to conversation, not claws. Let’s keep doing this.
