| "Women are schooled not only to ask permission, apologize, hedge and upspeak, but also to self-doubt and self-censor. Men, by contrast, whether in possession of brilliant or mediocre thoughts, grow up assuming their ideas have merit and deserve the space they take up," writes the reader Jan Underwood of Portland, Ore., in response to our question about why women write fewer letters to the editor than men. Take a look at what else readers had to say, and consider writing a letter yourself. Don't feel like reaching for a pen quite yet? Settle in with these weekend reads first. — Alexandra March | | |
