Amen! Meanwhile, that's a great bumper sticker: "A woman's place is in the House."

Quoted: As we keep our collective eye on November, the media's sexist attacks against Clinton should not be allowed to stand.

This writer makes some good points that I agree with (for example, the notion that a lot of Hillary's "bitterness" comes from unduly harsh treatment of her). But I disagree with the idea that Hillary should've dwelled more on potentially being the first female president - she would've been slammed as manipulative and weak. Plus, it's very telling that there aren't any alternative models...

Quoted: In the coming days, as Hillary Clinton moves to the sidelines and Barack Obama takes the stage alone, many people will suggest that America just wasn't ready for a female president. This may be true. But we'll never entirely know, because her problem wasn't that she was a feminist. Her problem was that she wasn't feminist enough.

Great article - I agree that Clinton not clinching the nomination does not equal never seeing another woman candidate in our lifetimes. But the fact that women are questioning that proves there's still a lot of work to be done!

Quoted: It's enough to make a girl want to run for president … With Hillary edging ever closer to the won't-finish line in the primary, the inevitable rending of garments that a woman may never mount a successful run for the presidency has begun.

This is very alarming - it really should be getting more press coverage.

Quoted: On Wednesday, Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have overturned a Supreme Court ruling (PDF) that sharply limited pay-discrimination suits based on gender under Title VII.

So 'The Root' is an African-American focused sister publication of Slate. They've had a lot fascinating content on race and politics, and as you can imagine, today was a huge day for them with the Obama speech. But I think this piece is especially fascinating and a good intro to the identity issues they're addressing.

Quoted: Enough with the dirty looks. Race is not the overriding feature of my identity.

I think this article raises a very important point about the importance of political spouses having careers of their own. However, I think the author is a little harsh on the current generation of first ladies - they had a very different set of social norms to grapple with when they were in college.

Quoted: Wife again standing mutely at his side, Eliot Spitzer resigned from his office as governor of the state of New York. When Spitzer's wife, Silda, called Hillary Clinton for advice on how to be a good first lady a few years ago, she probably didn't realize how horribly relevant the connection would be. What could she have done? What can any woman do? How about this: Don't quit your day job.

Really sad situation for the political spouses. I bet it's a combination of shock, denial, embarrassment, and not wanting to kick someone while they're down...

Quoted: For as long as powerful political men have been getting caught up in scandals, their wives have been standing by them. But why do they do it? The former wife of the former governor of New Jersey explains.

Women do rule! Literally... Great photos of female political figures in honor of National Women's History Month.

Quoted: In recognition of National Women’s History Month, Magnum presents images of notable female political figures.
