Why I started this Blog

When politicians talk about welfare, they should be talking about single moms....not faceless recipients.

When there are news stories about mortgage defaults, unemployment, and possible cuts to social security, we need to understand the impacts on women.

As I've read the news and followed political events in the past several years, it's clear that issues related to gender aren't receiving sufficient attention.

Why did I start this blog?

To shine a spotlight on the issues and political forces that affect women and girls in our nation.
