Next step for feminism: Go global

Seeking sports equality for women, Human Rights Watch should target Doha Olympic bid

A show without title, words or clothing
Constant nudity is a very different thing from a flash of naked flesh. I speak aesthetically, philosophically, politically, practically. Unless you are a nurse or spend a lot of time in a naturist setting — full disclosure, I do not — or...Tags: Arts, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Arts and Culture

Gorbachev, railing against capitalism, sounds a lot like Obama
Less than a week before the U.S. election, former president of the USSR Mikhail Gorbachev berated America and all but endorsed the sitting president and fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner at an event I attended in Houston.

A Feminist Looks Down From The Penthouse
The Hartford CourantA new book suggests that ambitious women should "lean in" to achieve success. What do we mean by "an ambitious woman"? What defines "achieving success"?
