State legislatures charge to side of women’s rights

January 2, 2020 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

While the federal government and some state legislatures have rolled back on women’s rights and protections, other states are taking up the banner, enacting new state laws that protect reproductive health and equal pay, among other concerns. In the Daily Hampshire Gazette, Carrie N. Baker points out these advances, many due to the increased number […]

Pretty, well-dressed women earn more

April 5, 2019 by Georgia Mullen 1 Comment

“I want to walk in the room and be seen as fierce and somebody who’s not going to back down so instantly,” a female executive headed into an important meeting said.

Female Peace Prize winners get less

October 9, 2011 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

This year’s $1.5 million Nobel Peace Prize will be divvied up among three African women. Call me cynical but—once again—women get paid less than men. Why must each woman receive one-third of the prize money? Why not give them each $1.5 million? Every individual winner (e.g., Mother Teresa, Barak Obama, Henry Kissinger) gets to keep […]

Collins pens a winner on American women

October 14, 2010 by Georgia Mullen Leave a Comment

“Amazing” is often overused, but author and New York Times columnist Gail Collins uses it powerfully in her book title, When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present.
