Introducing the New New Feminism
That’s right — the new, new feminism was born on May 8 and weighed in at 9 pounds, 14 ounces. My older stepdaughter is now a mom to a daughter (and no, you may NOT call me Grandma)! While I often wonder what the world will be like when my daughter, PunditGirl, is a woman, [...]
