Talking is powerful - and not enough women get to do it
|
Who Talks?, a project of Gender Avenger in partnership with CAWP and the Women's Media Center, found women dismally represented as expert analysts on most of the cable news shows it reviewed in April, with the exception (again) of Anderson Cooper 360°.

One powerful woman tells the story of another
|
Thanks to former NJ Governor Christine Todd Whitman, who read
Grace for President
to school children in Tewksbury, NJ (arranged by yet another powerful woman, school board member Krista Jenkins, who is also professor of political science and director of the Public Mind Poll at Fairleigh Dickinson University). The kids got to hear the story of a fictional woman leader from a real one, and afterwards Governor Whitman answered their many questions about politics.
