What a pleasure it was to open my newspaper today and be greeted by the smiling faces of the first all-women board of commissioners in Boulder. What a lovely and encouraging story.

Why then did I feel disappointed with your choice of title: "Girl power"? While the notion of "girl power" is an exciting discovery for an eight year old, it feels less flattering and even discriminatory and insulting to have such an exciting historic occurrence referred to in this way.

You'd never title a story about an all male board as "Boy power." Perhaps I am being overly sensitive, but on the other hand, perhaps the editors should be more sensitive to the fact that as women make more advances in business and government, their achievements should not be diminished by referring to them as "girls."
