By Roxanne Szal | Every day of 2024, Ms. writers and editors set out to create content that empowered, informed and infuriated readers. We sought out the truth, sounded alarms, asked tough questions, mourned feminist losses (and feminists we lost), looked to gender justice advocates abroad, and handed the microphone over to experts.

By Carolyn Maloney | Over these past weeks, I’ve read countless emails, sat through heated meetings, and heard the cries for action directed at President Joe Biden urging him to order the archivist to certify and publish the ERA in the Constitution. I understand the yearning for a decisive stroke. But this path, I believe, is a snare, tangled in legal thorns, dangerous and fraught with risk.
After careful study and consultation with leading constitutional experts, I am certain that Congress must pass joint resolutions to recognize the ERA and remove the arbitrary time limit.
His intervention could set off a chain reaction, handing ERA opponents an opportunity to challenge the amendment in court.

Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
In this episode, we continue to assess and reckon with the 2024 election results. How did abortion rights prevail, while anti-abortion lawmakers were elected in the very same states? What will a Trump administration mean for women’s rights, federal courts, agencies and throughout government? Are there any safeguards left as a check or restraint on abuse of office? And, what silver linings can we find among the election results?
