If Maggie Hassan, a Democratic candidate for governor in New Hampshire, isn't elected, there will be zero Democratic women governors in the United States. Not one.

Gabriel Giffords beamed at her mom throughout Gloria's speech. Gloria was firm about one thing: Gabby was determined, she was focused, she wasn't done yet.

Women legislators recognize the difference between legislating for women and families and legislating at them. When more women hold office it changes the conversation. It changes from a conversation about women to a conversation with women -- and that difference is huge.

It's said that there are two types of power: people and money. However, those two are not weighted equally. So despite being a coveted "voting bloc," as long as women earn less than men, we lack the political power to even control the conversation about our own "issues."

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus called the GOP's War on Women "fictional... It's a fiction because, No. 1, there is no war on women." There is no war on women? He seems to think that the only issue in the War on Women is abortion. To put it simply, he couldn't be more wrong.

NEW YORK -- Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe received an enthusiastic response at a gala on Monday meant to spur more women to run for elective office. The re...

Rather than standing down, women are stepping forward in greater numbers than ever -- as activists, as donors, and as candidates. In fact, 2012 is actually poised to be a historic year for women candidates.

The Republicans have managed to alienate the majority of American women, but I can't imagine that the GOP's angry, white, male base is going to like this. The Republicans are in for a headache that no health professional can cure.

Unprecedented. That's what they're calling the GOP's most recent attack on women in Arizona. I'm calling it unthinkable.

Voters are soundly rejecting this right wing agenda, from the freedom-limiting Blunt Amendment, to the vile attacks of Rush Limbaugh. Not just Democratic voters, but Independent voters, and Republicans too: access to birth control has the potential to impact races across the country.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Senate candidate Linda Lingle, a Hawaii Republican, has broken with the majority of her party on the Blunt Amendment, saying she do...

Where are the women? The question, posed by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) to an all-male panel at Thursday's House Oversight Committee hearing on a...

With Rick Santorum rising to the top of the GOP primary race, women's advocacy groups are raising questions about the former Pennsylvania senator's pl...

A national group dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women has weighed in on the contest to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), where the ...

These are no longer isolated battles we are fighting. This is a war -- a war it's time we win by electing more pro-choice, Democratic women to Congress who will stand up for women's health and the policies women and families need.

Though there are no words, I can only say today thank you to every American woman and man who served in Iraq. I will always be grateful for their sacrifice, and grateful for the women fighting to make sure that sacrifice is honored.

There is nothing more common sense than making sure all women have access to the full range of health care, including birth control.

Watching Gabby Giffords' interview last night, I saw so clearly the woman we have all come to love so much -- but even tougher, even stronger, and even -- this amazed me -- even more gracious.

Tonight, the candidates on stage will not discuss the bill passed just last week by the House that would make it legal for hospitals to allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion if it would save her life.

20 years ago today, Anita Hill's testimony in front of an all-male Judiciary Committee riveted women across the nation -- and galvanized them to action.

WASHINGTON -- First Lady Michelle Obama, longtime feminist activist Gloria Steinem and several other prominent Democratic women will be the featured g...

Today is about our fight: women, labor, the progressive movement. We've come together to support the policies that made this country great -- and the idea that we all do better, when we all do better.

Workers' rights are a women's issue. The public employees Governor Walker and his minions are targeting are teachers, local government workers, health and home care attendants. These are all predominantly female industries.

Democrats needed 25 House seats to send John Boehner and the Republicans back to the minority. Now it's 24. Turns out, engaging in a cradle to grave assault on American women is not a compelling electoral strategy
