  9. A birth control double standard

    In the uproar about making the morning-after contraceptive known as Plan B available to our daughters, there has been no similar outcry about condoms and our sons. Anyone of any age can walk into a drugstore &mdash; as well as most grocery and big-box stores &mdash; and buy condoms. If you want to remain anonymous, you can pay cash; no ID is required. If you're too embarrassed to face the checkout clerk, use the self-check aisle or, for $17.97, get a box of 100 &mdash; flavored or with &quot;added sensations," even &mdash; delivered to your door in a plain brown box.

  11. Filmmakers to ask women, 'What ... if you weren't afraid?'

    There's a new energy in the women's empowerment movement, experts say, one that focuses on issues far beyond suffrage or equal pay. Women today are asserting that they can have it all: The career, the family and the dreams.

  12. Khaled Hosseini on "And the Mountains Echoed"

    Khaled Hosseini stormed the best-seller lists with his debut novel, &ldquo;The Kite Runner,&rdquo; in 2003, following it up with the even more popular &ldquo;A Thousand Splendid Suns&rdquo; in 2007. Both set in the author's native country of Afghanistan, the novels have sold more than 38 million copies internationally, including 10 million in the United States alone &mdash; a remarkable feat for a writer who began to pursue literature full time only after working for a decade as a physician. Now Hosseini, who with his family successfully sought asylum in the U.S. in 1980 following political upheaval in their homeland, is back with his beautiful, often harrowing third novel, &ldquo;And the Mountains Echoed,&rdquo; also set in Afghanistan (as well as several other locations around the world).
