Women Ascendant

Women are center stage in all media this month. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice feature prominently as the administration issued a new Sudan policy. While BBC News headlines its story "Clinton focuses on soft power," we'll take progress, however achieved by these remarkable diplomats.

First Lady of California Maria Shriver is busy revealing the results of a Center for American Progress study, A Woman's Nation.

Governor Jennifer Granholm discussed new green energy companies coming to Michigan. Suniva will build in Saginaw County. The Wixom Plant renovation may become reality as XTreme Power and Clairvoyant Energy lead the rebirth. Even Dow Chemical hinted at going green.

Jonathan Greenblatt blogged about Women and Water, how we're connected, and how we need help to get clean water globally.

Women Waking the World website is up! Under construction, but aren't we all works in progress? Women are waking up and being heard!
