It has to be widespread - recall the 'pervasive' quality of the influence model. The leadership comes from each one of us. As a matter of fact, you do. In your own situations, you know what is right, you know that you have the support of the rest of us, and you know that the time to act is now. The key to this strategy is that women are not passively waiting for someone else to decide how to get there - each one of us is taking on the task of finding the way.
Women are leaders.
We can learn something from hockey. For years, a few little girls have petitioned and struggled for the opportunity to play on hockey teams. There were only a few of them, they received very little encouragement, there was no prospect for advancement, and most of them dropped out. Somehow, a few of them made it to the winter Olympics in Nagano. What they did there was really exciting, and heavily covered in the public media.
