ROUND TWO

Regardless of opinion, what is done is done: Barack Obama will be inaugurated this coming January for his second term as President of the United States. I truly hope that our country will grow with hope for a brighter future. But as I read article after article, the commotion seems to be about WOMEN. I like it.

A large part of this election was devoted to the 51% of our population/53% of voters- the ladies. Birth control, equal pay, education, job opportunities, and health care access are all very, very hot topics and will continue to be for our country over the next four years. I will not lie-- I am a little concerned for the future of America and its citizens. And as K. Sujata pointed out in her Huffington Post article, "As we prepare for the next few years, we must hold those whom we elected into public office accountable for their campaign promises. We have demonstrated our power in this election, let us continue to make sure that women and girls' rights move forward." 

Very rarely do I like special attention but when it comes to the future of women in this country and the amount of progress that is still to be made, it is only fair that the media covers our reality.
