Christian Science Monitor’s article today, The Potential In Hillary Clinton’s Global Campaign For Women tells us “no other Secretary of State has so focused on women’s rights. It’s a powerful shift.” The editorial board of CSM states:
When Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Africa last month, she visited war-racked eastern Congo to speak [...]

Faithful NQ reader, CG, mentioned recently that the Washington Post actually did a very nice article on Secretary Clinton’s recent trip to Africa. Well, you coulda knocked me over with a feather. This morning, in my daily “DipBlog” from the State Department, sure enough, there it was, along with a link to an [...]

I know, not the kind of headline one might expect from me, to put it mildly. This is a quote from the following article, What women’s lib? 70 Percent Of Americans Think Women Should Take Spouse’s Name After Marriage. Say whaaa??
The results of this article came out the other day, though one [...]

Sunday and Monday are the 161st Anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention, the first Women’s Rights Convention. As a refresher, here is a bit of history on that auspicious occasion:
The seed for the first Woman’s Rights Convention was planted in 1840, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton met Lucretia Mott at the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London, [...]

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, found this article, which she kindly shared with me. It is quite an interesting take on why some women are so threatened by, um, no, wait, that’s not how the author, Ann Marlowe, would phrase it. More for her, why they don’t like her, as the [...]

It’s not personal, it’s business. Revenues have been decreasing at an escalating rate in all business lines. Major losses in the main subsidiary have been financed through intercompany borrowings. Despite the financial hemorrhage, management has been [...]

Some of you may have heard that Senator John Kerry tried to make a joke about Governor Palin recently in light of Gov. Sanford’s, um, “adventure”. Like his previous comedic attempts, it was NOT funny. Seriously - he should leave comedy to the professionals (and Letterman doesn’t count). Anyway, The Sleuth from [...]

I got this announcement — which condemns NOW for letting Hillary down — from Dr. Lynette Long. Dr. Long, a dedicated supporter of Hillary Clinton who campaigned for John McCain in the general election contest, began the great No Quarter radio show on Monday nights. Due to illness, Dr. Long turned over the [...]

Susan’s Note: This is my idea of 21st century feminism. We speak out against all sexism and misogyny towards women of all political types, from Sarah Palin to Hillary Clinton and, yes, even Nancy Pelosi — when she is attacked. We don’t insist on a political litmus test before we’ll defend a woman, unlike [...]

From The New Agenda.
During Women’s History Month, I saw many comments about school curricula being deficient regarding women in part because (with some note able exceptions like Mercy Otis Warren) traditional history books have been written mostly by men. Well, it’s happening again. Today, when our children need to research a topic, [...]

Here’s one for the feminists. It’s another tongue-in-cheek song from my musical $ucce$$! (now seeking a Broadway home). The song is sung by an Irish-Latino character named Juanita Fitzgerald. The lyrics are as follows:

(bumped up from this morning)
As a liberal from way back, I must say, if anyone on the left allows themselves to be represented in thought or deed by the likes of Keith Olbermann and Village Voice’s Michael Musto, they really need to rethink their life choices. Jay Leno has also earned himself a spot [...]

My good buddy, SusanUnPC (No Quarter), told me about this lovely story. I figured since I ended up writing about Hillary Clinton yesterday, I might as well continue the theme and write about her today, too. Oh, who am I kidding - I could write about her EVERY day. She is the [...]

From time to time, you just have to have fun with the words of some of our most public blowbags. And while they may have a valid point here and there, or even contribute to the greater conversation by being obtuse curmudgeons, TV pundits like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann or that [...]

As in Anne Hathaway, an actress I actually like, and one whose movies I have seen (yes, both Princess Diaries - what’s your point??!). She has taken such a strong stand, I am sure you will agree, on an important issue. Oh, yes - I am talking, of course, about her decision to [...]

Then I have been mislabeling myself for the past 36 years. See, I thought a feminist was someone who believed in women’s equality, who believed that women’s rights were human rights, who believed that women had the right to make decisions about our own bodies, that women had the right to equal pay, and [...]

Richard Cohen’s sister is canceling her inauguration party because of President-elect Obama’s choice of Rick Warren to bless Mr. Obama’s taking the office of the Presidency of the United State.
According to her brother’s column in the Washington Post, what made her do this is the way in which Mr. Obama’s [...]
