What is Thinking Aloud?
Thinking Aloud is WorldWIT's new online newsletter. You are receiving this because you are a member of one of our many local WorldWIT lists around the world. Up until now we've sent you a weekly update called the Boulder Blast, and yes, we are still in Boulder! But we thought a more topical (and colorful) vehicle would help WorldWIT subscribers gain a quick weekly understanding of current topics related to women, work, technology and work-life balance. We chose the name "Thinking Aloud" for its double meaning: our conversation on the WorldWIT email discussion groups involves a lot of group and individual thinking aloud, and, in our little piece of cyberspace, thinking is definitely allowed! Send comments, contributions and ideas to Thinking Aloud's editor, Lauren Calkins, at laurenc@worldwit.org.

The Three Wise Women?
Could the biblical three wise men really have been women? Now there's a thought that could ruffle some feathers around the world! The Church of England is now saying that the word "magi" does not necessarily refer to men. Check out the following link and let us know what you think! http://wireservice.wired.com/wired/story.asp?section=Breaking&storyId=821857

Let's Bash Working Moms Part MCMXVII
We were intrigued by this interview of writer Caitlin Flanagan on the Atlantic Monthly's "Atlantic Unbound" website. What do you think about Flanagan's view that the hiring of nannies is an exploitative practice that undermines the goals of feminism? We'd ask this question : why are nanny issues (and daycare issues in general) presumptively women's issues? Why don't we talk about dads' responsibilities vis-a-vis their daycare providers? Take a look for yourself: http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/interviews/int2004-02-12.htm.
