The women’s movement has been striving to define the place of women in the workplace, and in society in general, since the 1960’s. Although there have been some major turning points over the past half century, the era we’re in now may turn out to be one of the most significant and long lasting. In New Orleans, two very different women driven media businesses are contributing to this change.

Heide Winston and her partner have launched Geaux Girl! magazine – a teen magazine with a sex-ed component. It’s a unique publication – partly written by girls themselves, and partly by experts in subjects relevant to teenage girls.

Ashely Angelico and her partner run the very successful New Orleans Moms Blog. Moms Blog is a national network of locally owned blogs. They’re updated daily with information for moms on subjects that range from how to cope in general, to where you can go with your kids today.

Peter Ricchiuti hosts this enlightening conversation about New Orleans and Louisiana women and girls over lunch at Commander’s Palace.
