Good morning! SpaceX completes a significant mission, Fearless Fund will get again into investing, and the Broadsheet enters its subsequent chapter. See you tomorrow!
– New title. Do you know the Broadsheet is 10 years previous? That’s proper—this article about girls leaders and the problems that matter to them celebrated its 10-year anniversary this summer time.
Over that point, the world has modified—as has the dialog about girls’s position in it. We’ve been by way of three presidential election cycles with an evolving cultural understanding of feminine candidates, the rise (and fall?) of company DEI, the ever-changing dialogue round feminine founders and the so-called girlboss, and a surge within the variety of feminine CEOs operating Fortune 500 corporations; that stat has greater than doubled over the previous decade.
I’ve been engaged on this article for six of these years, and took it over full-time simply over two years in the past. Earlier than that transition, it was authored by the unimaginable journalists Caroline Fairchild, Kristen Bellstrom, and Claire Zillman (who nonetheless edits it daily!).
Now appears like a second to mirror on how the Broadsheet can finest attain readers within the years forward. And on that word (*drumroll please*) as of as we speak, the Broadsheet can be named Most Highly effective Girls Day by day, or MPW Day by day.
For these of you who don’t know, the Most Highly effective Girls franchise at Fortune stretches again even farther than the Broadsheet—to 1998, when Fortune ran its first annual Most Highly effective Girls in Enterprise record. E-newsletter readers have doubtless come throughout the franchise’s tentpoles, from that record to our longform journalism about feminine enterprise leaders to the annual Most Highly effective Girls Summit, which kicks off in Laguna Niguel, Calif., as we speak.
This renaming is supposed to align this article additional with that 26-year-old franchise. Fortune Most Highly effective Girls, in all its kinds, is a giant cause this article has lasted for a decade amid a media atmosphere that has not been pleasant to girls’s publications.
As MPW Day by day, we’ll nonetheless carry you all of the tales we did because the Broadsheet. You’ll discover evaluation of the largest information tales affecting girls, profiles of girls enterprise leaders and their corporations, and the occasional commentary on politics and tradition. We’re extra dedicated than ever to reporting these tales and guaranteeing they attain readers who care. (And when you have any ideas on what we ought to be protecting on this subsequent chapter, please e-mail me on the tackle under!)
So please inform your pals (and e-mail filters!) to open emails from MPW Day by day after they hit your inboxes at 9:30 a.m. ET every weekday morning. Thanks for all of your assist over the previous decade—and cheers to the last decade forward!
P.S. Keep tuned this week for protection from the MPW Summit, the place I’ll be interviewing Cameron Diaz and Sue Hen—and we’ll hear from different leaders together with Supreme Court docket Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and GM CEO Mary Barra. You may tune into the livestream right here beginning Tuesday.
