Blogger, Ben Smith, from Politico interviews NOW President Terry O'Neill about the Newsweek cover of former US veep candidate Sarah Palin: "Sarah Palin's complaint that Newsweek's cover image this week was "sexist" and "a wee bit degrading" has drawn a notably muted response from the women's rights groups who often serve as arbiters of the treatment of female public figures."

According to Washington Post reporter, Ann Hornaday,"the historical drama, about the pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart, represents a major risk in Hollywood, where studio executives have been increasingly chary of making movies about strong women."

David Crary of the Associated Press in New York interviews NOW President Terry O'Neill on what she's done since being elected as president in June: "Men behaving badly. It wasn't a topic that Terry O'Neill expected to find high on her agenda as new president of the National Organization for Women, but she's tackling it with zest and determination."

A recent study is being used to argue that feminism has made women less happy today than they were in the early 1970s. Author Barbara Ehrenreich refutes this theory in an article appearing on Salon.

NOW President Terry O'Neill was interviewed by New York Times reporter Tina Kelley about a disturbing trend on girl-on-girl bullying: "...news of a 'slut list' at a top-ranked New Jersey high school last week highlighted two disturbing points: the increasingly explicit and sexual nature of the taunts, magnified by the Internet. And, in another twist, the perception that allegations of promiscuity — however fictional — are a badge of honor, a way into the cool group, and not a cause for shame."

NOW President Terry O'Neill is quoted in this article by Mimi Hall for USA Today on how the new White House Council on Women and Girls is assessing every government agency to see if its programs do enough to benefit women.

Mary Beth Sheridan at The Washington Post writes: "[Hillary] Clinton's just-concluded 11-day trip to Africa has sent the clearest signal yet that she intends to make women's rights one of her signature issues and a higher priority than ever before in American diplomacy."

On NPR's website, Jennifer Pozner writes: "Think carefully: can you remember any passionate TV news debates about whether journalists or voters might want to get naked with Dick Cheney? No? Good. Because such an insulting, irrelevant topic would—and should—never be considered newsworthy. Unfortunately, this sort of drivel frequently passes for journalism when the politician at the center of the story is female."

Nicholas Bakalar writes in the New York Times, "A new study suggests that people give higher customer satisfaction ratings to white men than to women and members of minorities, even when their performance is the same."

Katha Pollitt writes for the Nation, "Can we please stop talking about feminism as if it is mothers and daughters fighting about clothes? Second wave: you're going out in that? Third wave: just drink your herbal tea and leave me alone!"

Sharon Jayson writes in USA TODAY, "Just how the USA compares with the rest of the world on relationships and family life was a common topic at a conference of the non-profit Council on Contemporary Families. Presenters discussed new research on relationships, sexuality and equality."

In POLITICO's "Answer This" section, NOW President Kim Gandy was interviewed by Patrick Gavin in a personal Q&A session. Some of the questions -- and answers -- may come as a surprise.

Sheila Gibbons writes for Women's eNews, "Here we go again: another inauguration, a new president and a new first lady facing the challenge of defining her new role even as pundits and reporters rush to do it for her."

Liz Newbury writes for the Feminism 2.0 Conference about NOW's history with political activism online. "The way the feminist movement makes change happen — the way we communicate, reach out, and engage people — is not the same as it was two decades ago. When I looked back at the last couple of decades, remembering just how much NOW's work has changed surprised me!"
