Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
CBS Sunday morning profiled one of my favorite women of all time Madeleine Albright. The best part of the interview was when she exclaimed, "I love being a woman" to explain her love of pins and how she embraced her femininity playing in a man's arena.
There are over 300 pins in her collection and The Museum of Arts and Design is premiering an exhibition of her pins starting September 30. I have to admit that, at first, the whole pin thing was underwhelming. But hearing all the stories behind each pin and how they helped her communicate her agenda to world leaders - it struck me as brilliant.
The first challenge of advocacy is being heard and understood. And Madeleine Albright used such a simple device - a pin - to achieve this goal. The pin that caught my attention was a diamond encrusted eagle she bought for herself when she was appointed Secretary of State. It reminded me of the sapphire ring I bought myself when I landed my first job.
