Who the Celebrities Endorse in Election 2012

Before the election closes down, we want to take a look at one more thing – less serious than what we have covered before and primarily as little more than a curiosity. Still, even as a curiosity, we think it is somewhat telling to take a quick look at who endorses who during this election. […]

Do Women Really Want It All?

By: Amanda Fox Over the last several months, there has been considerable discussion regarding what a modern woman is and whether or not she can have it all.

Speak Up and Vote for Women’s Rights

By: Tracy Madlener I am absolutely speechless at how many women I have talked to that brush off or ignore the importance of the upcoming election.  I refuse to believe that there are women who don’t support women.  When I hear other women say that the economy and jobs is what’s most important to them, […]
