Lawyers feeling "womanesque"...

Welcome to "Woman, Esq."--a new blog being launched to connect and promote Minnesota's many groups and individuals working to create opportunities and equality for women lawyers.

The number of people working in Minnesota on this issue shows the gender gap problem in our profession has not yet been solved. It also shows this is an issue this legal community prioritizes and has committed to deeply, with ideas and conversations happening all over the state.

It is at the intersection of these realizations where "Woman, Esq." begins. A recent story about the need for more female voices in the legal blogsphere prompted the blog idea, and a vision for the blog became clear as each participating group attempts to garner more public attention, conversation, and interaction with their missions.

Although each group may have a specific target, there is clearly a common goal: achieve equality for women lawyers in the profession. "Woman, Esq." seeks to promote and to connect to each group in order to serve that main purpose for which we all strive.
