On Sunday, August 28, CAWP joined several women's organizations for a "Sunday Brunch" on Twitter organized by
Higher Heights for America. Building on Boston City Councilwoman Ayanna Presley's
re-imagining of the US Senate with 100 Black women, the conversation addressed opportunities to elect more Black women at every level. Catch up with the conversation at
#BlackWomenLead. And see what CAWP scholar Kelly Dittmar found about the status of Black women in American politics in the
report she wrote in collaboration with Higher Heights.

Longtime activist Gina Glantz wasn't exactly the retiring type. So as she approached the age when some might take that route, she created
Gender Avenger
to call out program organizers who don't include women. Then she partnered with CAWP and the Women's Media Center to start Who Talks?, insisting that women analysts be at the table on cable TV news programs. Now Glantz has penned
an article for The Washington Post's Health & Science,
explaining the advantages of being an advanced (in age and otherwise) organizer.

History in the Making
Time explains why Donald Trump appointed Kellyanne Conway as his campaign manager, the first GOP woman to hold that title in a presidential race. And Cosmopolitan
highlights 19 women whose election to Congress would make history -- firsts in a variety of categories.
History Already Made
On the occasion of the end of State Rep. Phyllis Kahn's 44-year career in the statehouse,
MinnPost offers a brief history of women who have served in the Minnesota legislature.
The New Yorker looks back at Jeannette Rankin of Montana, the first woman to serve in Congress; turns out there's much more to her intriguing story than that she was a suffragist and a pacifist who voted against US entry into both World Wars.
Will the Next President be a Lady?
