Monopoly and Women’s Work

By Angie King

April is the month each year when women’s wages catch up to the total earned by men in the previous calendar year. It takes us 4 more months to earn as much because, as we know, women are paid less for their work. Women’s work, in the home especially, has historically been unpaid work.

News from NOW

By Angie King

March is Women’s History Month, a time to commemorate the many advances women have made towards true equality in the civic arena - and there have been many.

NOW was founded in 1966 specifically to … [Read more...]

Social Good Summit

By Angie King

I sat down after the election to write an anthropological-type screed about why we couldn’t break the glass ceiling, about how even women had a hard time seeing a woman as president, and ended up at the Social Good Summit for the UN.
