How Both Parties Are Lying to Women This Election Season A woman's economic empowerment is critical, as is promoting the "women's bench" in each party's respective roster. Women tend to do better when women legislators are in place, representing their concerns. A record number of women are running for Congress this year. As important as the presidential election is, paying attention to down ticket races is also paramount.

This Author Argues That We Should Still Be Pissed About Hillary’s 2008 Campaign
Anita Finlay has worked as a TV actress on shows including Brothers and Sisters, 24, and The Young and the Restless, where she played Dr. Nora Thompson for seven years. But she’s most passionate these days about her role as a media watchdog. In 2008, Hillary Clinton’s candidacy for the Democratic nomination electrified her, and she began both volunteering for the campaign and taking a closer look at how Clinton was depicted in the media and by members of the Obama campaign as a shrill nag or a washed-up old lady.

When Will Hillary Clinton Get Some Credit? The New Republic, the same publication whose literary editor once referred to Hillary Clinton as a “hellish housewife” is at it again. Only this time instead of sinning by degrading an accomplished woman, The New Republic is sinning by pretending she does not exist.
When Will It Be "the Year of the Woman"? - According to the 2012 Project of the Rutgers University Center for American Women and Politics, more women are running for Congress this year than ever. But how can we make an intelligent choice as to the best candidate when overwhelming research shows the decision is being made for us via skewed, imbalanced media coverage that has a predisposition toward taking men seriously and treating women like novelties?
Why Do We Still Resist and Punish Women In Leadership? - Just after my election as president of the Homeowner’s Association in our town home complex in 2004, an older male neighbor stood nose to nose with me and said “you really need to get some men on the board because women don’t know how to do anything.”
