First World Feminism

What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. If the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

Take Action on International Women’s Day

For more than 30 years the U.S. has failed to ratify CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women), the most complete international agreement advancing basic human rights for women.

Take action by signing NOW’s petition online or use these talking points to call the White House at (202) 456-1111 or fax them at (202) 456-2461.
