Women Rule

U.S. Artistic Gymnasts -- Gold Medal Winners 2012 Summer Olympics
I am featuring this recent article published in The Wall Street Journal only because I absolutely loved the third point.
3.  Women Rule

Thanks in part to its population, and its progressive policies toward girls' and women's athletics (see: Title IX, the 1972 federal legislation that guarantees women equal support for sports at public institutions) the U.S. produces the best female sports team on the planet.  
I suspect that stat holds up on female entrepreneurs too.

Congratulations to all the women Olympians who exceeded everyone's expectations on greatness.  You are a role model for us all.
