  • Feminism after Friedan

    More than 40 years ago, she launched a movement by denouncing stifling, stay-at-home motherhood. Today, are women who choose to stay home betraying feminism?
  • Enough with the vaginas!

    Yes, we know. Women are going to decide this election. But why do activists have to resort to gyno-talk to get our attention?
  • Behind the scenes at the March for Women's Lives

    While older feminists were awestruck at meeting Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan, some of the young ones probably had no idea who they were. But the movement's generational divide didn't stop a million women from hitting the streets in D.C.
