International Museum of Women

A wonderful rundown of women-centered activist opportunities is available at the International Museum of Women's site here.

After surfing around their site, I found a fantastic online exhibition of women's work in the global economy. Check it out!

You can even submit your own work to the Economica exhibit. Click the image for a link to their site.

Senate Race in Massachusetts

I am getting very nervous that Martha Coakley is going to lose her race for Teddy Kennedy's seat for the U.S. Senate representing Massachusetts. If she loses, the Democrats will lose their essential 60 votes to avoid a potential Republican filibuster. She might not be the most exciting candidate but women should be rallying around her campaign in the interest of health reform and expanding coverage. Visit her campaign site to learn more about this very crucial race.

Lamenting the lack of availability of women's books

Lately I have noticed a disturbing trend. Not only are there very few independent bookstores left in my area, but the bookstores have dramatically reduced the number of women's studies books they carry. Some bookstores have even eliminated a women's studies section and introduced a "gender studies" section instead. There is a dramatic difference between the two. If you are searching for an extensive list of women's studies books, try these excellent independent bookstores online:

Moms Rising Sees Great Succes with Pacifier Pins

momsrising.org has seen incredible success having direct conversations with senators about family issues. Their ingenious campaign of having these powerful politicians wear pacifier pins has helped promote their family friendly agenda.

Here Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wears their pin. Keep up the great work ladies!
