women are center stage

while we're stuck in the U.S. talking about Hillary (is it important to vote for a woman for prez even if her politics are f**ked?), the economist reminds us about some real progressive women out there fighting the good (political) fight:

Ségolène Royal is a Socialist candidate for president in France (even though it may mean she needs to spend a little more on babysitters), joining the ranks of Helle Thorning-Schmidt of Denmark and Mona Sahlin in Sweden, also Social Democratic leaders who are out there in the battle.

these are the kind of strong women with a people-centered political agenda that we should be taking our direction from.
