Topic: “The Movement for Women’s Leadership: Slaughter, Sandberg, and
a New Path Forward?”
Nowski grew up in Toronto, Canada, where she attended a single-sex school from 7th through 12th grade. The opportunity to see first-hand what women and girls were capable of as scholars, leaders, and professionals had a lasting impression on her, and sparked her interest in women’s rights.
Nowski pursued an A.B. at Harvard College in the Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. She completed a J.D. at the Yale Law School. As the chair of Yale Law Women, she helped lead a once-in-a-decade empirical study of the gender dynamics at the law school, as well as the organization’s annual report on the family friendliness of private law firms.
For seven years, Nowski has served on the board of directors of Strong Women, Strong Girls, a national non-profit mentoring program for at-risk girls.

Trying to improve your balance? Try the barefoot style shoes (Vibram Five Fingers). Research has shown that individuals who tried the barefoot style footwear balanced longer through a series of maneuvers than when they started the study.
A study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, showed that one of the best exercise plans for women is two days per week of cardio (40 minutes) and two days of strength training (two sets of 10 reps on 10 exercises).
