The summer after I graduated from the police academy I was asked to give a speech for our city’s July 4th celebration about women in service to our country. I was honored. Through my research I was amazed with the history of women fighting for the United States and serving our country. For National Women’s [...]

Bitch. Whore. Stupid. Hot. Disabled. Shrill. Mean Girl. Hag. Diva. Ice Queen. Slut. The midterm elections of 2010 brought back a familiar rage and sick, queasy feeling as I watched women on both sides of the aisle being devalued with sexist diatribes. The hateful rhetoric that defined much of the 2008 presidential campaign was not [...]

Recently, the United States celebrated the 90th anniversary of women’s right to vote. That right was won by the significant efforts of a number of women, many of whom were jailed, beaten, and starved, fighting for this right. We honor them, and all that they have made possible for us 90 years later. Now we [...]

Today, March 8th, is the 99th celebration of International Women’s Day. The history of how this day came to be is interesting: International Women’s Day has been observed since in the early 1900′s, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.

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 [...]

When Peter Daou writes, I read. As many of you know, Peter Daou headed Hillary Clinton’s campaign Web site and her site’s blog operations. I always admired Peter’s attempts to post at Daily Kos (one of his countless tasks), where he was cruelly torn apart for supporting Hillary. But he kept on, hoping that a [...]

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:

This is a bit of a followup to my post, “Some Celebration,” on the issues women face here and abroad. Once again, H/T to cheneywatch.com for alerting me to this video. Yesterday, I wrote of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the US. Today, it is India:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Supreme Court Justice, “I think about how much we owe to the women who went before us – legions of women, some known but many more unknown. I applaud the bravery and resilience of those who helped all of us – you and me – to be here today.”

Sarah Palin has become my new hero. While I don’t agree with some of her political positions, I love that she is unapologetically herself. And she is a REAL feminist, representing many of us who don’t toe the line of some definition of what that is. The so-called “progressives,” men and women alike, don’t approve [...]

Yes, today is the 88th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment “giving” women the right to vote. And to celebrate this auspicious occasion, Barack Obama chose to have two men, one who is anti-choice (that is, does not believe a woman has the right to choose what to do with her own body), [...]
