If you are a woman..

"If you are a woman between the ages of 20 and 40 living anywhere on the globe, you are part of the most educated, professionally empowered, international generation of women ever. Its inspiring story in a world full of violence and insecurity - a generation of women poised to take leadership like no other generation in history."


Paula Goldman, in Imaging Ourselves, Global Voices from a New Generation of Women.

The Power of The Purse--Part 2

As women we cannot afford to be afraid to let the world know about our skills, talents and dreams. As women we cannot allow ourselves the outdated notion of "Oh, my boss (male or female) knows I work hard and I'm sure I'll get a raise...someday." As women we cannot sit idly by just scraping enough money together each month to pay the rent, put food on the table and hopefully make a dent in our massive student loan or credit card debt. No, we as smart, powerful women must get brave and learn to PITCH ourselves with joy, passion and reckless abandon!!(We don't have to sound like a used car salesman, either.)And we need to learn to pitch other FCW better than we pitch ourselves, because they will do the same for us in return. Let's get a bigger piece of That Purse. Not because we are greedy, but because we work hard, we are f*cking cool women, and we deserve it.

The Power of The Purse

"Women now make 85% of all consumer buying decisions. The marjority of corporate purchasing agents and managers are women. And women entrepreneurs account for 70% of new business start-ups."

--Martha Barletta from the book Marketing to Women

Women's rights in essence...

"Women's rights in essence is really a movement for freedom, a movement for equality, for the dignity of all women, for those who work outside the home and those who dedicate themselves with more alturuism than any profession I know to being wives and mothers, cooks and chauffeurs, and child psychologists and loving human beings."

Jill Ruckelshaus, political activist and lecturer

Women Who Make the World Worse
Kate O’Beirne calls feminists on their bad ideas.

Q&A by Kathryn Jean Lopez

"They talk "freedom of choice," but feminists are too contemptuous of dissenting women to allow them to choose freely how to live their lives without ridicule and disdain," Kate O'Beirne writes in her new book, Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports. And she would know. Having taken on some feminist stalwarts on Capitol Hill and the likes of Crossfire, Kate puts a final (or so we can hope) nail in feminism's coffin in her new book, calling their bad ideas out with facts and figures and good sense.

NRO Editor Kathryn Lopez recently talked to NR Washington Editor Kate O'Beirne about Women Who Make the World Worse.
