Via the always exceptional Open Access News, comes this inspiring post from Co-Action on why women should embrace Open Access. Here’s an excerpt:

SOLIDARITY WITH DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Virtual networking is especially important for women researchers from developing countries and countries in transition. This is good news for all women!

Read and print it out. This one’s a keeper.
