In Gotham, Wonder Woman has touched down to rescue the guys from evildoers. In Hollywood, a cabal of forward-thinkers has formed to rescue the guys from themselves. To be specific: Hollywood holds a secret summit to address gender inequality As Deadline reported earlier this week, women including Bruna Papandrea (Reese Witherspoon's producing partner), Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan, and Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke met with men from across the film and television industries to discuss how to quickly address the underrepresentation of female creatives in Hollywood. (See: this knockout New York Times Magazine article, which laid bare the insane career-stifling perpetrated against women directors especially.) Participants in the meeting announced that they plan to enact an action plan with points including a mentorship program for budding female directors, a "stamp" of gender equality approval for projects and companies that earn it, and industry-wide training teaching men why they can and should make projects for and by women. The Wiz elevated NBC's musical tradition Don't get us wrong: We loved The Sound of Music and Peter Pan. We just loved them in a different way—a slightly snarky way.

Meet the First Ladies of the United States--sometimes inspiring, sometimes tragic, always fascinating--women who, though often unsung, helped hold the nation together in its infancy and advance it as a world power. More than simply serving as America's \"hostesses,\" many of the nation's First Ladies played vital roles in shaping their husband's presidency and serving as political activists in their own right. From Martha Washington to Michelle Obama, their inspiring stories come alive in this handsomely illustrated encyclopedia. Within its pages, the First Ladies are revealed as human beings who, one day, awoke to find the eyes of the world upon them. The book differs from others by showcasing America's First Ladies in their own words, as flesh-and-blood individuals. Readers will discover which First Lady held off Napoleon's army with a toy sword, why women had to be \"pale, frail, and ailing,\" and which First Lady was called \"Sunshine\" and which was \"Hellcat.\" Each entry includes a biographical essay that details the life of the woman and places her within the political, social, and cultural context of her time. Each also offers a related primary document that helps define the First Lady's legacy as well as a short bibliography for further information. Written in a lively, compelling style, this highly readable volume is perfect for junior high, high school, and college students as well as the general public.
