Welcome to Links We Love, a round up of eye-catching and worthwhile reads on modern motherhood, career and family balance, sustainable fashion, and a bit of all-important news from around the web. All of my favorite links this week focus on women — it might be because I’ve got International Women’s Day on my mind already (and planning something special)!
-

-
How one women is making giant leaps for female astronauts in space. Super excited about this one because a. woman are truly revolutionary and b. I’ve been keeping a little secret over here (hint: it involves a field trip to NASA!)
-

I enjoyed reading this piece about venture capital and how the VC pitch process hurts female entrepreneurs because a. I know very little about the VC process in the U.S., and b. I recently attended an event with an inspiring female partner at a Chicago VC firm (and wanted to learn more).
What reads from around the Internet grabbed your attention this week?
