I have made it my professional life's work to help women in law firms attain success. And what I have come to realize is that most women who become lawyers and choose to practice within the confines of a law firm fall into two categories. The first is the 'Miranda Hobbs' woman, referring to one of the four Sex and the City characters who has a constant battle with being a partner at a law firm while not allowing herself to take leave of her personal relationships with friends and family (hereinafter referred to as the 'MHs'). The other category is the 'Miranda Priestly' woman who, as most of you know, is the lead character in The Devil Wears Prada (hereinafter referred to as the 'MPs'). Miranda Priestly can best be defined as a woman in charge who doesn't much care about the world outside her office as Editor-in-Chief of the fictitious magazine 'Runway,' and who prides herself on putting the fear of God in anyone with whom she comes in contact. For anyone who has seen the movie version of the best-selling book, could we ever forget Meryl Streep's dismissive tone uttering the words, 'That's all' as her way of telling those in her presence to take their leave?
What I think is that for the most part, women in law have feared being themselves because if they showed their 'feminine side,' they would be perceived as not good enough or smart enough to succeed. I am here to say that's just rubbish.

Blockchain domain names offer decentralized alternatives to traditional DNS-based domain names, promising enhanced security, privacy and censorship resistance.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc. And, there seems to be an increasing number of lawsuits stemming from environmental problems associated with historic dry cleaning operations utilizing this chemical.
