Welcome to ECO336

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the Fall Semester of 2009 and Lisa Giddings' ECO336 Women in the US Economy!

I've set up this blog for two reasons:
1. I often find great articles and news stories throughout the semester that I love to share with students and
2. This space is a great way to comment and share your thoughts with others in the class.

See you Tuesday!
