Newsweek:
These 11 women came from many different backgrounds, but they all had big dreams. The path topower meant facing obstacles and their biggest fears.

I think it's pretty telling that they purposely overlooked someone as powerful as Condoleezza Rice.
I thought the Dems supported all minorities?
Or, is it that they only like blacks that think like liberals . . .
America land of the democracy has yet to ever elect a woman President, ironic. Many other countries that are far less progressive than the U.S. such as Israel, India, Philipine and other have reached this pinacle year ago before us. Call it discrimination or any other reason you want, reality speaks for itself. Women in the eyes of men are still trying to overcome the fear that power and womanliness are mutually exclusive. Do you believe Women are Better Leaders than Men? ----------

As a general rule, I'm all for giving woman the opportunity to have all of the power that than can effectively handle. but now with the elevation of Nancy Pelosi to the Speaker of the House and the results of her insidious ineptness to the point of almost being worthless to the American people , except for a few elitist. I might have to rethink my willingness to be so liberal as to want another woman to be in a such a powerful position as the Speaker or as the President.
I'm sorry for my retro type thinking but "once burned"
And like my youngest sister said, "Maybe Nancy Pelosi will prove that the American men's instincts were right for all of those years when they did not allow woman to the highest offices of the land, and maybe they should cut their looses and not elevate Hillary to the Presidency.
"I might have to rethink my willingness to be so liberal as to want another woman to be in a such a powerful position as the Speaker or as the President. "
Millions of women and people of color are rethinking their willingness to be so tolerant as to elevate another white male (read: another narcassistic entitled fuckup) to the Presidency of the United States.
Why can't Nancy Pelosi just be Nancy Pelosi? In your mind, she's representative of all women. She's not. We don't all think and act alike, you know. There's just as much variation amongst women, as a group, as there is amongst men. Why is that so hard to fathom?
Condi? Plezzzzzz!
She has no charisma at all. Why do you think she has never been married? Most women who have lived as long as she has are able to find at least ONE FOOL to marry them. UNLESS THEY ARE JUST TOTALY CHARISMA FREE, OR HAS AN EXTREMME CASE OF HELOTOSES OR BO OR VERY POOR FRMININE HYGENE.
look! Even Hillary was able to hook a so called man!
You seem pretty locked into your stereotypes of women and the roles they should play.
Could you be any more limited in thought than you are now?
For your information, Condi was once engaged to a Denver Bronco in her 20's, dated other NFL players, and Washington power brokers. The reason why she isn't married is because she doesn't want to be.
Anyway, I have way more respect for Condi than I do for someone like Rachel Roy. It's insulting for her to even be included among the other women being showcased as role models. Newsweek was really discreet with the details about her ascent up the career ladder. It took getting knocked up, out of wedlock, by Roc-a-Fella fashion's CEO Damon Dash and the plane crash of Aaliyah (pop-star and Damon's first fiancee)for Rachel to get her fashion line, not hard work, study, and design talent.
Arianna married a gay millionaire, got her green card and citizenship, divorced him, took millions from him ... and she is powerful why?
Condo Rice? Talk about an empty suit!! All education and no intelligen
How about the journalette who was doing the Mayor of LA while covering him for the news?
What about the Affirmative Action white journalette bimbos of Foxnews?
What about all the men who "got in the door" because of THEIR family connections?
Please, some of you guys just love pointing out the mediocre women and people of color; but you seem to overlook your brethren. I've seen PLENTY of mediocre white guys at work... Some of you are just pissed because you actually have to compete now.

another ego/image exercise for ego, self imaged challenged american women. maybe the pakistani feminist movement should be consulted to see what it takes for a woman to be considered for a position of leadership, or the phillipino movement or the german movement. oh, i'm sorry, i forgot. its the american males' fault that women aren't valued properly in the homeland of misogyny.
Arianna is originally from Greece, and now she's American. I don't see any lack of confidence in her.
Also, what's wrong with a bit of gratification for the ego? If you have a weak ego, you might suffer from repression of your individuality.
Come down off the cross, what a fucking victim. There are too many people, women and MEN who are true victims in this world, your bullshit is so typical of selfish, “what about me”, emasculated America.
Corporate whores are still nothing more than whores... And corporations still have a very misogynistic agenda.
I have no idea who you're referring to as a "corporate whore", but you seem jealous and angry.
Also, you say "whore" like it's a bad word. Have a little respect, please.
Why would I be jealous of a bunch of fascists? I don't care for material wealth.
Women and Power eh....
The article itself is proof that you have no power, and more important it shows you that women are desperate for it.
Desperation is a weak place to come from.
Lashing out at me doesn't make you any better.
Warner brothers is right to make the statement about how over hyped your whole species. You cannot carry a major motion picture...
Today I was driving by a female bicyclist who had a flat tire or some malady that she just couldn't handle. There she was her bike fell over on the grass on the highway where I'm sure she was focused on riding her basket decorated bicycle as well as any man, until opps, oh shit... a problem...
Both were probably college pusssies without a clue, as to how they might ever function under less than desireable circumstan
I could almost hear this woman say to herself...
When our boys come home from Iraq, I sure hope you college pussies, boys and girls, will quit your careers, get yourself knocked up and stay at home so that some people with character can lead this country.
WTF????
Do you realize what you just said? Women are a different species? You call people you hate "pussies", so I guess that must mean you hate pussies.
Does that mean you're a militant, man-worshiping masculinist? If you prefer cocks, that's your prerogative, but don't be hating on women.
Balzac--Thank you. If he likes cocks, that's fine and he should go for it. But when it comes to women, he needs to live and let live.
Hmmm. What have we here? A scared, insecure widdle wussy boy. Mommy, wifey, somebody hurt you really bad, huh?
"Warner brothers is right to make the statement about how over hyped your whole species."
I have bad news for you, all-American boy, we are the same species. Now, borrow a dictionary and look up under "gender"..

dickhead.
