Welcome to the Thinking Woman, an exercise in empowering women by clearly explaining what you see and hear on the television, radio, print media, Internet and from the mouths of friends and relatives.
We are two women who could not be more different. One of us is a member of the East Coast Jewish media elite. A single mother and professional writer and editor who commutes from New England to Manhattan every day. The other is a stay-at-home mother of two, wife and transplanted Midwestern Lutheran living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. What we have in common is a publishing background, liberal politics and a growing uneasiness with the disfranchisement of our women friends. They feel disconnected, helpless and often confused.
We will occasionally express our own views on current events, and how we see them affecting the lives of women. And our opinions will most likely have a liberal slant. But our goal is not to create another liberal site. It is to help women cut through the "spin", fluff, and doubletalk on all sides of an issue.
Women made the difference for Bill Clinton in 1994. They can make the difference again, not just in the 2004 election year, but in American life in general.
We're here to help our friends become informed, aware and involved. This is the Thinking Woman's guide to politics, the media and life. The fun has just begun. Won't you join us?

You note that women made the difference in electing Bill Clinton. That was "the soccer mom," right? Is this the reason for the Republican phenomenon of "the NACSAR dad"? Is the Republican party trying to turn the election into a battle of the sexes?
