I just visited California, dubbed by Patrick Hanlon "The New State of Innovation." I went to participate in the 11/25/13 social entrepreneurship forum, "The Future of Education in a Globally Connected World" sponsored by Hack for Big Choices in Palo Alto, CA. I went because I was making a stand on behalf of female entrepreneurs everywhere. I was on a mission to prove that entrepreneurship today involves not only disruptive innovation but thought leadership and civic engagement for real world problems needing collaborative, creative and male- and female-generated solutions, such as how we educate our children. I went because I was the lone female panelist at this particular event. As Vivek Wadwa tweeted: "Good, there's a woman on the panel. This is Silicon Valley, and you don't see many!"
