Is the glass ceiling becoming an anachronism?

This morning on my Sirius show BE HAPPY DAMMIT, I had on a wonderful panel of women -- representing a few generations -- a feisty/successful woman in her 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's.

The panel was pulled together for me by the 20's something representative -- Hannah Seligson -- and she blogged about it over at her column on dailycents.

Each woman panelist discussed what they felt were the biggest challenges facing women of their particular decade -- and just how much progress each believed we women are/aren't making!

Because it was such a complicated/interesting topic, we ran out of time just as things were heating up.

I promised my listeners I'd post information on my guests on my blog, so if they wanted to find out more they could read their books and/or websites.

Below is my distinguished panel...

20's Gal -- Hannah Seligson -- a career expert, journalist, and author based in New York City. Her work has appeared in The New York Post, The Boston Globe, The Daily News, Marie Claire, The Village Voice, and The Huffington Post. She is a monthly contributor to JobWeek, a nationally syndicated career section. Hannah’s first book, New Girl on the Job: Advice from the Trenches, a career guide for young women based on over a hundred interviews she conducted.

30's Gal -- Harleen Kahlon -- the CEO and Founder of Damsels In Success. She is a former lawyer and executive recruiter, and is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley and Yale Law School. Harleen is a firm believer in the idea that we create our own opportunities, and her vision for Damsels is that it should be a place where professional women are inspired to create theirs.

40's Gal -- Debra Condren, Ph.D. -- a psychologist, a business coach and career advisor, and is the Founder and Executive Director of the Women's Business Alliance. Dr. Condren received a U.S. Small Business Administration's "Women In Business Advocate of the Year" award in 2000. Her client roster includes a diverse list of Fortune 500 companies, entrepreneurs, and students between the ages of sixteen and sixty.

50's Gal -- Leslie Bennetts -- a contributing editor at Vanity Fair since 1988, writing on subjects that have ranged from movie stars to priest pedophilia, industrial pollution and U.S. anti-terrorism policy. She is the author of the Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving up Too Much. Prior to joining Vanity Fair, Bennetts spent fifteen years as a newspaper reporter. She started covering so-called “women’s issues” at The Philadelphia Bulletin in the early 1970’s, and has continued to write about women, marriage, families and parenting ever since. After five years at The Bulletin, where she won many awards, Bennetts moved to The New York Times -- and was the first woman ever to cover a presidential campaign for The Times.
