I wanted to share with you the news that I am going to be one of this year’s recipients of the Susan B. Anthony award this Wednesday night from the NYC chapter of the National Organization for Women. It’s a true honor and is quite humbling because I am able to do something that I love that actually makes a difference.

I am the lucky one because I get to write and edit this blog, and program the Athena Film Festival and that I get to talk to so many of you about these issues that I am so passionate about.

As I put together my remarks for this week I would love to have some thoughts and comments from you, the people who read this site, to share with the audience.

So I am asking: what does Women and Hollywood mean to you? You can leave your thoughts in the comments or email them to me at melissa@womenandhollywood.com.

Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
