For the first time in its 139-year history, the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, the top-ranked business school in the country, will have a black woman serve as its dean.

I, along with a bulk of the industry, am noticing a trend.

If you identify as a woman and have ever entered a public ladies’ room, chances are, at some point you have bonded with a stranger and made a fast friend.
