I am beginning a new voyage into unknown territory - the worldly dimension of Art. I feel as though I was handed a flashlight in a dark room and beckoned to begin to explore.

I checked in with the outspoken actress to talk about her new show, the politics of feeling beautiful, homophobia, the Internet, playing the banjo and her outlook on life.

Yet for all the scholarly appetite for love, popular romance fiction has long been shunned, ignored, and seen by many in the ivory tower as the errant and sex-craved stepdaughter of "real" literature.

What makes the show tick is our sense that it's realistically portraying something important about the treatment of women at a certain point in the past while portraying something equally important about men today.

As a country, we have grown up, adapted to the ever changing world, and begun to take responsibility for our role in its current state.

If women are going to have to earn just as much money as their husbands, then they should also be splitting the at-home responsibilities down the middle. That is true equality.

The "empowered" 15-year old female can belt risque lyrics, flaunt racy lingerie, and flirt with suicide to be a sexy, appealing feminist?

In 2008 we reached a nadir. For Wall Street it was the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. For the women's movement, it was the sexist treatment of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin.

There are hundreds of points of action that feminists across Europe would prioritize above banning the burqa, were anyone to actually ask us.

Could the traditional burqa-clad woman and the modern Western exotic dancer be two sides of the same coin?

On the streets of Tehran women young and old, rich and poor, in skirts and chadors were saying something powerful about the irrelevance of what feminism is and is not.

By insulting, belittling, objectifying and jeopardizing our daughters, Letterman gave the final poke to our country's sexism slumber.

But to my mind HGB, as I call her, is one of the pioneering feminists of our time. She was the sexiest suffragette of them all. And now as she head...

For the first time since she has been in the public spotlight, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was able to talk her way into an issue that really resonated with the masses.

You would think with all the troubles he's been having with women lately, the last thing Berlusconi would agree to do was round up women for Gadhafi's mission to "save European women."

Sarah, how creepy is it that NOW is jumping on your bandwagon? Trying to be friends with the alpha popular princess by sweeping abortion, pay parity, stem cell research under the rug!

This wave of feminism is about reaching down beneath the surface to eradicate the roots of sexism that lie deeply buried in darkness, ignorance and bias.

Leslie Crocker Snyder is running to be the first woman to be Manhattan District Attorney. Snyder has prosecuted mafia members and drug lords and gang members. She created the first sex crimes unit in the United States, writing the Rape/Shield law that, to this day, saves rape victims from malicious and overly-broad cross-examination.

How would any one of us feel if Letterman's comment about Palin's daughter were directed at our daughter? And if Governor Palin were Governor "Sam" Palin, would he dare to make that joke?
