The McCain/Palin ticket (and the Republican Party), doesn't want you to talk about other things.

During a conference call with national female supporters on Monday, Barack Obama and his aides outlined a comprehensive strategy to target female supp...

No matter where we think the state of our country stands, no matter how low, there are increasing numbers of young men and women just like Rachel who see this moment as their chance to change things.

She makes them laugh and lets them think that they'll all head over to Culver's later for frozen custard and ButterBurgers.

Many women voters find much to admire about Palin, but that does not mean they will vote for her without knowing what it would mean to their lives.

After the Friday surprise that John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate, the media reacted with shock and awe. Since then, while some m...

Two New York women decided to speak out against Sarah Palin by sending an email to their friends asking them to fight back. The email ended up getting sent around the world, and now women from all over the globe have responded on how they view the Alaska governor.

Every feminist who marched without a bra and defended the rights of women, we're going backwards not forwards, becoming a dying breed, even endangered if Sarah Palin becomes our VP.

My email roared out the response of women who wanted their opinions on this election to be heard. "Insulted," was one word they used, and enraged with John McCain's underestimation of them.

Women here in Defiance, Ohio, are insulted that the McCain camp thinks that in 2008 we can't speak or think for ourselves. "Throw a woman on the ticket and they'll fall in line."

Palin as a mom symbol is important to discuss, but there's too much at stake to get lost again in the gender wars, no matter how validating it feels to have our opinions asked.

Trish Heckman, a 49-year-old restaurant cook and disappointed Hillary Rodham Clinton supporter, watched last week as the country's newest political st...

Palin doesn't believe that women or girls should have birth control. She believes every raped female who gets pregnant should have to carry the child to term.

As a woman and feminist, I'm not buying all the rhetoric. Mainly because Sarah Palin is the most anti-women woman to hit national politics to date.
Marlene H. Phillips | Posted 10.05.2008 | Home
The women who like Palin would have voted Republican anyway. Can McCain reach past that base and convince other women that Palin was a good choice? It's not about 'a woman' -- it's about women's issues.

Rejecting Sarah Palin could be the beginning of a renewed women's movement, a movement of content and boundaries, that uses its electoral power to achieve its ends.

Clinton supporters are skeptical about your nomination, Sarah, and I've talked to others who are insulted. You see, they didn't support Senator Clinton because she was a woman but because she was their advocate.

Obama gave a huge metaphorical hug to American women in general and moms in particular. I'll admit I actually teared up when he said that the day she died was the worst of his life.

The truth is that getting women to buy a book or bundt cake is one thing. Getting them to completely change their emotional allegiance is another.

As I was pondering why there is still so much coverage of the so-called reluctance of "older" Hillary supporters to become enthusiastic about Obama, I had one of those light-bulb, Oprah AHA! moments.

Though the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution giving women the right to vote was not ratified until 1920, women in Colorado had earned the right to vote before this time.

Obama should not choose Kaine because he opposes a woman's most fundamental human right to decide her own destiny by making her own childbearing decisions.
