I will be a first-time voter in the 2024 presidential election, and I hope that I will be able to see other members of my generation who are of age at the polls, informed about current issues, and filling out ballots with confidence.
Brazilians were able to celebrate the election of many candidates from more diverse, just, and feminist backgrounds.
More than 100 women have run from president, and each one widened the possibilities of what a presidential candidate looks like.
Reporters spend a lot of time focusing on the Christian right but ignore the masses of us committed to a ministry of justice.
As some media moved to put a box around the Latino vote, activists, leaders and journalists pushed back.
Campaigning during the pandemic has forced candidates to innovate and improvise.
Media coverage surrounding the 100th anniversary of 19th Amendment, observed this week, offers deeper and more nuanced understanding of the suffrage movement.
The 19th Amendment didn’t secure the right to vote for Native American women, despite their strong influence on suffragist ideas.
Despite the unfulfilled promise of the 19th Amendment, Black women have traveled an impressive distance over the last century, and continue to exert outsize political influence.
Wider implementation could help change the dramatic underrepresentation of women in elected office at every level.
The docuseries, And She Could Be Next, shows that women of color are “changing what the face of leadership looks like” in the United States.
We must acknowledge that sexism in U.S. politics poses a pernicious threat to restoring political and social justice.
Research shows that social media exposes female politicians to online abuse, but it also enables them to engage directly with their constituencies without the bias of mass media.
Activist Renee Bracey Sherman started the hashtag #AskAboutAbortion after moderators continuously failed to raise the subject. She recently told the FBomb about what needs to change in the national dialogue about abortion and what debate-watchers should look for in the future.
Of the many topics about which moderators asked the Democratic candidates during the second round of debates on July 30 and 31, two crucial ones were noticeably absent: reproductive and disability rights.
As I watched the mainstream media cover this day this year, I noticed that hardly any mentioned the female leaders of a famous 1990 protest.
“The take-home message is clear: We need more women in office to solve our environmental challenges,” said Fern Shepard, the president of Rachel's Network, which issued the new report.
Alicia Garza, the principal and co-founder of the Black Futures Lab, is determined to flip the where candidates talk about Black communities, but don't talk to them—beginning with "the largest survey of Black people conducted in the United States since Reconstruction."
Kathryn Kolbert, co-counsel in the landmark Planned Parenthood v. Casey Supreme Court case, gives her perspective on the current push to ban abortion — and what we can do about it.
The results of South Africa’s 2019 general election on May 8 were promising for champions of gender equality in politics, but
I’m hardly the only high school student stressed about navigating what could be crippling student loan debt. This debt has already reached $1.5 trillion and women, who make up the greatest population of student-debt owers, are particularly burdened by debt harsh effects on everyday life.
In 2018, Fabiano Contarato became the first openly gay man to be elected to the Brazilian Senate. The 52-year-old senator, who represents the state of Espírito Santo, was elected in the midst of a shift in Brazil’s political climate toward extremist and fundamentalist views; the president elected in 2018, Jair Bolsonaro, has consistently made racist and homophobic remarks and has been called “Trump of the Tropics.”
After a narrow defeat in the Virginia legislature, the ERA campaign is heating up in several states.
A New York Times article examined how Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar has treated her staff members. Nichola Gutgold asks: Will other candidates be given similar scrutiny?
Even before the media gave these women’s political visions a chance, it has largely narrowed in on evaluating whether these women possess a single quality — one that they seem to care about only when it comes to female candidates: their likability.
