Albany, NY – April was Child Abuse Prevention month. But child abuse isn't a topic that can be forgotten after one token month. Writer Nancy Foote was inspired to not only think about the heartbreaking statistics, but to give voice to the voiceless.

Carolee Schneeman is an art world legend. A product of the New York art scene of the sixties and seventies, her work challenged her audience, shocked them, forced them to think about their reaction to women's bodies in art and their feelings about physicality. Her paintings, her collages, her photos, films and her performance pieces often included her own naked body as part of the composition. Her work has been displayed at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the NY Museum of Modern Art and the London National Film Theatre. I spoke with her at the Dorsky Museum at the State University of NY at New Paltz, where a retrospective of her work is on display until the end of July.

But Author Selena Rezvani, whose book The Next Generation of Women Leaders includes interviews with top women executives, says it's premature to say the glass ceiling is gone.
