The Five Women Who Founded a Clandestine Theatre Society

The Five Women Who Founded a Clandestine Theatre Society

It was their private club. Five women who collaborated at the Public Theater, who met to drink and dream, to share frustrations and ideas, to commiserate, to brainstorm and laugh together. They coined their alliance "Women and Ambition," a cheeky nod to the fact that "ambitious" still had a strong connotation for young women. Their meeting at Public in the mid-2010s proved more than just a fond memory: each has now become an empowered leader in a field desperately in need of fresh inspiration. “These women changed the course of my life,” said Maria Goyanes, now artistic director of the…

What does the future hold for France after these unexpected elections?

What does the future hold for France after these unexpected elections?

Instead of bringing clarity, the snap election called by French President Emmanuel Macron has created a complex situation that could take months to unravel. The snap election, intended to secure a stronger mandate for Macron’s government, has instead led to a fragmented political landscape, with no party securing a clear majority. The French electorate delivered a mixed verdict, resulting in a stalemated parliament where alliances and coalitions will be crucial to governance. Macron's party, La République En Marche!, fell short of the majority needed to pass the legislation smoothly. This result forces Macron to negotiate with other parties, which could…

In his first week in the majors, Oswaldo Cabrera showed off his versatility by playing multiple positions for the Yankees.

Ron Marinaccio, another Yankees rookie, praised Cabrera for his authenticity and indifference to other people’s opinions. Cabrera received the handmade necklace from Milton Ramos, an infielder he met in the minors who founded PawGripz, a company that makes rubber grips to…

Autistic Employees Revolutionize Workplace Accommodations

Autistic Employees Revolutionize Workplace Accommodations

When Chelsia Potts took her 10-year-old daughter to a psychologist for an evaluation for autism spectrum disorder, she decided, almost as an afterthought, to get tested herself. The results were surprising: Like her daughter, Ms. Potts was diagnosed with autism. At 35, Ms. Potts thought she was dealing with anxiety or something else. A first-generation college graduate, she had earned a Ph.D. in education and become a high-level administrator at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. After seeing a psychologist, she had to figure out how this diagnosis would affect her work life. “I was confused at first and kept it…

France Discovers a New Word: Ungovernable

France Discovers a New Word: Ungovernable

Instead of waking up on Monday in a country governed by the far right, France found itself in a situation similar to Italy's, where only patient parliamentary negotiation could lead to the formation of a viable coalition government. France rejected Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigration Rassemblement National in its legislative elections, once again demonstrating its deep-seated resistance to nationalist initiatives. The country voted for a resurgent left that, while it has not achieved absolute power, has shifted the political heart of the nation from an all-powerful presidency to Parliament. With the Paris Olympics less than three weeks away and the August…
