Dear Editors,
I just want to say thank you for finally adding a woman's voice to Salon. When my husband subscribed to Salon over 2 years ago, I could hardly stand to read it because of the male-centrism. In fact, the Salon subscription was one of our taboo political topics, one of those in a marriage that hit the "piss-off" point in 0.2 seconds; in short, I couldn't stand it. Suffice to say that since the leadership of the editorial staff has changed, I can't live without Salon. It's not that it's now about women, but it acknowledges women--something the former Salon didn't ever do. I am also pleased to see more pieces by Rebecca Traister. I am currently working on a book on learning disabilities, and I have found a number of times I can quote her as I cover gender and education and political ideas. Thanks for the change. It was desperately needed and incredibly appreciated.
Rebecca
P.S. I love Broadsheet, but do you think you could also expand this to have some regular features that expand on the articles such as pay/equity issues and things of that nature. Not enough news organizations focus on this. (See Newsweek for blatant examples.) I trust your coverage, and I would be happy to provide the sources for work like this.
