Cross Post: Why Women Should Get The Jobs
Women and Hollywood: In a recent episode of the television series Mad Men, two advertising agencies merge. Each agency has a single woman on their creative team and one woman is told she's 'toast' because the combined agency already 'has one'. As in one woman. In the scenes that follow, the extra woman is 'disappeared' with no mention of her again.

But I'd dare wager that for most American adults (myself included) it was some high school English class. William Shakespeare's popularity has endured over four centuries. But can it last four centuries more? Not according to one futurist from the 1960s.
