As sad as we are to see these trainings come to an end, we are inspired by the stories from the final two universities that hosted trainings this year.

The preliminary results from a recent Stanford University report say that women in Congress are better lawmakers than men. Researchers considered various factors, including the differences of agendas between Congressmen serving their final term and Congresswomen who are serving their first. The study’s overall results show that women are generally more effective lawmakers than their [...]
Sister, Can You Spare a Dime

I received a letter in the mail from Virginia Governor Tim Kaine last weekend. My first thought was, no more elections. Run. Hide. Ok, admittedly a bit dramatic, but I’m still having flashbacks to the 2008 election. Normally I would have just shredded the envelope with the rest of the junk mail but, wanting to [...]

Thanks to the recent flap between David Letterman and Sarah Palin over the joke he made about one of her daughters, some moms and/or dads may be having second thoughts about making a run for office.

During women’s history month, it is important not only to reflect on women who are or have been leaders in American politics but also to commemorate the vast achievements of women leaders throughout the globe.

What do Angela Merkel, Condoleezza Rice, Cristina Fernandez, Yulia Tymoshenko, Sonia Gandhi, Michelle Bachelet, Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton have in common? Forbes just named them some of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women, and they all hold a powerful political office. When I read articles like this, I become my five-year-old self, giddy with [...]
