This is a good day for women in the HPD and for women in all professions that once "belonged" to men.

However, by coincidence, today is also the day that women start working for free. As the Washington Post's lede in a comprehensive study published today says, "The median salary for a full-time working woman is about 80 percent of a man’s. That gap, put in other terms, means women are working for free 10 weeks a year."
