Speak For Yourself
A LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
BY ANETT D. GRANT — MINNEAPOLIS
Your article made me angry. Good public speaking is a learned skill, just as good writing is, not an inherent quality some are born with and some are not. I am tired of women blaming every failure on their sex. What does being a woman have to do with it? Good public speaking requires training, concentration and practice.
A version of this article appears in print on Feb. 23, 1992, Section 6, Page 14 of the National edition with the headline: SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. Originally published in The New York Times Magazine
