Even if I weren't a girl, I'd be recommending that the smartest choice is that Obama's running mate be a woman. My three picks are Hillary Clinton, Janet Napolitano, and Olympia Snowe.

Firecrackers and picnics aside, Abigail Adams didn't get to sign the Declaration of Independence, Betsy Ross sewed the flag, and how many people even know who Deborah Samson Gannett was?

In this exclusive interview, Natalie Portman talks about her work for FINCA International, how she balances her activism with her career as an actress, and her advice on making a difference.

John McCain quipped that rather than earning a pay rate equal to a man's, for doing the same job, a little more "education and training" will help cure the woes of working women.

Visibility is viability, and wouldn't it be great to have Meet the Press, the most prestigious and hard hitting show on the Sunday circuit, feature a woman host?

Obama should surf the present swell of interest in women's rights created by Clinton's endorsement of his candidacy to reinforce his commitment to ending gender discrimination.

When people start reinventing themselves based on the latest "criteria" -- it's risky. Change is what Obama's campaign is largely about, but changing his wife shouldn't be.

Speculation abounds as to the demise of Hillary's campaign. This past Monday, I attended a panel discussion, Women in Charge, where the panelists debated the reasons for it.

According to Linda Hirshman, we feminists are just too darned concerned about things like civil rights, war and peace, and the fate of the planet. Her evidence that feminism is a failure: Hillary didn't win.

On the evening of May 21st, women in New York City had the opportunity to come out and support two events that proved achievers of the female gender were getting their due.

Dear Hillary - I say this to you almost daily, but since it's normally to you on the TV screen, I thought I should find a way of saying it where you...

Something big is happening and SATC didn't cause it, it just reflects it. Whether or not you are a Hillary fan, there is a gender conversation happening in this country, and women are angry.
Laraine Newman | Posted 05.29.2008 | Politics
So what if Hilary is a woman? Why does she have to be THIS woman? She's a one-woman band, with folksy personal anecdotes to fit every issue and new accents to fit every state.

We can cast a vote backwards in time, declaring that gender wins the 'who's-more-oppressed' game, or recognize that we missed an opportunity to change institutions 30 years ago.

Call Sea World: Sex and the City has jumped the shark. Since the HBO series exited with tears and orgasms in 2004, we've all moved on even if Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte haven't.

Should Obama emerge as the Democratic candidate, women have compelling reasons to support his candidacy. Here are my top ten.

I have regularly criticized Clinton over the course of her campaign, but there is no question that she has forever altered the way women running for president will be viewed.
Rob Kall | Posted 05.06.2008 | Politics
Frankly, it's hard to believe that Hillary has lost the edge in the female vote, but checking the progression over the past few days seems to bear this out. Of course, Zogby's polling sample may be off.

I can say with great conviction, there was no effort to suppress or confuse African American voters, or any other voters in the state of North Carolina by Women's Voices, Women Vote.

We need to open up the conversation on gender in America. What would a speech on gender sound like?

The superdelegates will go with whoever they perceive as a winner. Today it could be Clinton-- she's hung in there despite being badgered mercilessly to drop out.
