So happy to have watched the swearing in of the U.S. 44th president of the United States today. What does this mean for women today?
Especially for my daughter, her aunts and nieces, I look forward to women's issues being part of a

I was quite elated and glad to be among so many in our community who voted for our president, at a local Obama Bash on Inauguration Day.
My son was an active Obama supporter from the start and I am proud of him for being so strong on women's issues.
