Gail Collins says that because of a shortage of women in early colonial times, women were able to do things that would be unthinkable 100 years later. They were able to demand rights during this period that would subsequently disappear, not to return until the mid 20th century. Ms. Collins talks about what it was like to be a woman back then, and how these rights slowly eroded as women became virtual slaves.

Review of America's Women: Four Hundred Years Of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates And Heroines.
I enjoyed listening to the lecture but as a program director I would hope to have an avail to identify the program so that late joiners could be brought into the conversation. I would also want an opportunity to do a station break so that I could update weather, share an underwriting announcement, do some cross promotion and so forth.
In a perfect world I would have a billboard and a newshole.
Gail spoke quite fast at times and a 15-second id avail and a 60-second break would also allow the listening audience to catch their breath.
Gail didn't begin speaking until about 3-minutes into the program. Perhaps some of the information about the series could be moved to the end of the broadcast and why not drop in some provocative or just plain interesting audio from the lecture just before giving a more stripped down version of her bio? It would give the show some nice production values and perhaps would raise interest.
The first question was inaudible or close to inaudible. Maybe in post production that could be reinserted cleanly.
