My mission is to give the women's history perspective to today's news events.

Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro, the first female Vice Presidential candidate and my greatest inspiration, also happens to be my friend and neighbor.

A lot can happen in three years but one thing is clear, Sarah Palin will get a lot of attention.

The discussion allowed Mr. Mondale to reflect on his distinguished political career, while also providing him an opportunity to voice his opinion on current problems confronting the US.

Last week, New York Women In Communications presented The Spin Room: Gender, Politics & Media in the 2008 Election.

With the post-election analysis season almost over, it's worth taking one final look at some of the characters who ensured President-elect Obama would make it to the White House.

There are roughly eight million more female voters than male, and more women than men say they are still undecided. Senator Hillary Clinton and Govern...

I've coined the term "Double Dutch Feminist" to identify women who are jumping between the Feminist and Conservative rope lines, to their own benefit.

Despite Bush's condescension, Reagan-Bush won in 1984, and despite being smacked-down, Bush-Quayle won in 1988. So...what exactly is the media's point?
Marie Wilson | Posted 11.01.2008 | Politics
Geraldine Ferraro's challenge in 1984 was the same as Palin's will be when she takes the stage tomorrow evening: the careful negotiation of her dual identities as candidate and woman.

After choosing the Republican candidate for 50 years, my mother has decided to change her ways this election. She thinks Obama has the answers we're looking for.

What does the Palin factor mean, especially for white married and white working class women who continue to strongly support McCain/Palin?
Wajahat Ali | Posted 09.30.2008 | Politics
Sadly, some of McCain and Clinton's followers think they suffer from an unbearable Whiteness of being as well, one that Obama's Blackness apparently allowed him to transcend.

By allowing the roll call to take place, Obama would honor not just what Hillary Clinton achieved with her 18 million votes, but the promise of even greater accomplishments by Democratic women in the future.
Michael Carmichael | Posted 09.07.2008 | Politics
A military commander tested in wartime, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a Secretary of State, a Vice President Powell would strengthen Obama's candidacy more deeply and more consummately than any other American.

Bill Clinton believes he was played dirty by the Obama camp. The truth, Bill Clinton, is that you are a racist. We all are. We can change. But the first step to change is recognizing the need to do so.

I never paid attention to Bo Diddley's lyrics; I was simply moved by the rhythms. But the passing of Hillary Clinton's campaign makes them seem quite relevant.
Carol Felsenthal | Posted 06.13.2008 | Politics
Had Hillary been the Democrats' nominee, and if she becomes Barack Obama's running mate, billionaire commodities trader Marc Rich will surely raise his battered head.
Adele Stan | Posted 06.12.2008 | Politics
When the popular history of the campaign turns to legend, I have little doubt that Hillary's story will be that of a brilliant woman who almost made it -- but for her love of a man who sabotaged her completely.

This is how the Clintons could pull the Democratic Party down to general election defeat alongside their fading presidential hopes: a pointless fight over gender politics.
Nathaniel Bach | Posted 05.29.2008 | Home
Given Clinton's recent major and undeniable race-inflected victories, the increasing charges of sexism, particularly against Obama himself, are misguided at best. This is no way to advance party unity or women's rights.
Gary Cohan | Posted 05.28.2008 | Politics
Sexism cuts both ways; Hillary's continued presence in this campaign is, in and of itself, a manipulation of the very concept. If Hillary were a man, she would have been long gone.
