Women, Welfare and Poverty
Diane Dujon
Many Americans live one pink slip or one medical diagnosis from financial ruin. Once, hitting bottom meant welfare, but now, with the gutting of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), many face a free-fall. To shift the national debate from how to eliminate welfare to how to eliminate poverty, Diane Dujon thinks we must […]
The Global Women’s Movement
Loretta Ross
“Women hold up half the sky and they are absolutely the equal of men,” declared the new leaders of China in 1949. Inspiring slogans aside, what is the status of women and their struggle for equality?

CEO salaries […]

Attack Iraq: A Debate
Katha Pollitt, Peter Berkowitz, Rashid Khalidi, Raymond Tanter
Thomas Jefferson held that a “little rebellion” is the “medicine necessary for the sound health of government.” Fast forward a couple of hundred years and we have George Bush dismissing as irrelevant massive worldwide demonstrations against the impending attack of Iraq. Debate in the mainstream media avoids substantive content. It is mainly limited to discussions […]
