Dec 14: ICYMI news for women

No TL;DR. Just the facts, ma'am. Dozens of new articles in the last week alone that matter to women. Click your picks: we watch the news so you don't have to.

Sunday Snippets is a round-up of the week’s headlines about women’s health and lives that we haven’t covered in our Notes or posts. Snippets goes first to our terrific paid subscribers, then later to free subscribers. It takes a full day each week to search the news and add context. If you find Snippets valuable, give us a shout-out with a❤️ or a share, or reward us one time with a much needed espresso (or snippet of win) or—definitely best of all—a subscription to support what we do. We do it for you.
