The Trump-Pence Ticket and Women
The
Christian Science Monitor
asks "Will Pence help Trump win over women voters?" noting Pence's poor polling numbers among women and his strong anti-abortion stance.
Newsweek
tells of "Trump's Loud, Proud and Pissed Off Female Supporters."And

Meanwhile, Across the Pond
The
Buenos Aires Herald
highlights women in the UK who are "taking centre stage to clean up the mess."
And
The Telegraph

Imagine...
What if the U.S. Senate was made up of 100 Black women? As

Higher Heights for America
, filled the Edward M. Kennedy Institute's replica of the Senate chamber with just such a group to allow the world to envision that prospect. Take a look and see for yourself!
