What Pete Hegseth Doesn’t Get About Women in Combat

Donald Trump’s choice for secretary of defense, the former Army National Guard major and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, has no clear policy or management experience that qualifies him to run the Pentagon. What he has instead is a reactionary streak—one that’s evident in his view that women should no longer have combat roles in the military. In his recent book The War on Warriors, he implies that women service members who have received military honors for their bravery were decorated because of “an agenda.” These comments reflect a…

Thank you, Vice President Kamala Harris and women of color movement leaders

Vice President Kamala Harris had 107 days to unite the Democratic Party and launch her campaign for president. She made history as the first Black and South Asian woman to secure a major political party’s nomination. And her groundbreaking campaign was carried by Black women and other women of color leaders who came out en masse to donate, organize, volunteer, and vote.  We will not allow their sacrifices, efforts, and hope be erased in this darkness. Add your name to say thank you and that you will keep fighting. Why…

The Women Trump Is Winning

Updated at 5:55 p.m. ET on August 31, 2024 Donald Trump’s appearance last night at Moms for Liberty’s annual gathering was intended as a classic campaign stop—a chance for the candidate to preen in front of a friendly audience. And this audience certainly was friendly. At this week’s “Joyful Warriors” summit in Washington, D.C., members of the three-year-old conservative organization attended a seminar on the history of Marxism and a session on abolishing the Department of Education—led by a contributor to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. They packed their tote…

With a colleague, she interviewed 55 of those women, and shares their reasons and experiences in her new book, “Hannah’s Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth.” These women share openly about how having a large family has affected their careers, their identities, and their marriages.

Mother’s Day Presents an Opportunity to Honor and Stand Up for Real Women

It’s a man’s world again. We’ve won. We’ve seized women’s sports, parenting titles, and Woman of the Year and Prom Queen awards. The gals were making headway there for a while, but now the men are back on top. I can still remember them, although their memory fades by the day—actual women, that is. Once upon a time, women had domains all to themselves, free from male interference—their own sports, doctors, locker rooms, and dressing rooms. Not to mention achievements such as “first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public…
