Raising more hell and fewer dahlias
For the past twenty years, scholars have referred to a “stall” in the movement toward gender equality. Across a myriad of fields, measures of equality have remained relatively constant since the mid-1990s. Four renowned gender researchers quantified the enormous gains made in the thirty-five years since the Clayman Institute’s founding, offered recommendations for what needs to be done today, and issued predictions for what the next thirty-five years will bring.
For Women Leaders, Body Language Matters
Deborah Gruenfeld of the Stanford Graduate School of Business had some sobering news to share with a group of high-level women executives and entrepreneurs. “When it comes to leadership,” Gruenfeld told the group, “there are very few differences in what men and women actually do and how they behave.

Heart transplant failure higher in women with common virus
Acute rejection of a transplanted heart is higher in women than in men. A recent study by a Stanford cardiologist shows that women who have been exposed to cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus that lies dormant in many adults, may be part of the reason. In a multi-site study funded by the National Institutes for Health (NIH), Hannah Valantine, MD, a Stanford professor of cardiovascular medicine and a Clayman Institute 2009-10 Faculty Research Fellow, helped to clarify the relationship between the virus and transplant failure, and now hopes to expand the study to determine how CMV affects women in particular.
