Website connected to Women's Politics.

A major source to most of the information found on my blog came from http://www.cawp.rutgers.edu/
This web site is dedicated to awareness of not only female politics but women’s rights all over the nation. This is the official web site for the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), and is a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. CAWP has been analyzing and interpreting women’s participation in American politics for almost four decades and is nationally recognized as the leading source of scholarly research and current data about American women’s political participation. The Center for American Women and Politics mission is to promote greater knowledge and understanding about women’s participation in politics and government and to enhance women’s influence and leadership in public life.
I found the web site to be most helpful in keeping me up to date on all of the elections where a woman was running for state legislature, governor, congress, and even democratic nominee when Hillary Clinton was still a possibility. CAWP had links to all of these women’s home web sites where I found a lot of up to date info on their campaigns and main headlines as well as few stories. Also there are links at CAWP that allow you to watch the polls in races that women were running.
One article I found interesting was a story about president-elect Barack Obama who has a standard to meet or beat the record proportion of women appointed under President Bill Clinton which at one point had 9 of the 19 cabinet members that were women. Currently there have only been 33 women to ever serve in the Presidential Cabinet. “This is just one way that the Obama administration will reflect the nation’s diversity, including many strong women like those who have helped to shape his life and career.”
