I write this as a 70-year-old who has fought for women's rights since the day I was thrown out of a public university class for wearing pants on a cold, rainy day. We had to fight for everything. Younger women will too. Linda Crouse, Ben Lomond, California

This became even clearer when Delta made the mistake of letting me work the p.a. system. The airplane p.a., it always seemed from my passenger seat, where I fought the urge to grab it, is the most powerful broadcasting tool in the world.
