Taylor Swift announced on Wednesday that her sixth studio album, coming out November 10, will be called Reputation.

May 29, 2017 by WendyB

Buzzfeed has published a wonderful story by Ruby Cramer called “The Place Where Letters To Hillary Clinton Go.” It’s about 30-year-old Rob Russo, who is in charge of Hillary Clinton’s political and personal correspondence.

October 24, 2016 by WendyB

It turns out that the oft-told story that suffragette-related jewelry in green, white, and violet stood for “Give Women the Vote” is just a story. Becky writes: “At least one of the most popular suffragette groups –…

History Is Made

July 26, 2016 by WendyB

I wasn’t sure I would see this in my lifetime. As a child in the 1970s, living in a part of New Jersey that somehow remained untouched by women’s lib, I couldn’t even imagine a woman becoming a nominee for president. Sure, one could TRY, but there was no way it was really going to…
