For Women, the Time To Run Is Now [[link removed]]
LAURA MERRIFIELD WILSON | Start your engines, organize your campaign and submit your filing paperwork, ladies—because now is the time to run. Women are critically underrepresented in government, regardless of the level or branch.
Female candidates should be motivated, too. The last two election cycles marked record-breaking numbers of women running for office and ultimately winning. Research in political science (like the work of Jennifer Lawless and Richard Fox) shows that when women run, they win—but they do not run as often as men do. This disparity in declaring candidacies leads to the gender gap in politics. A government “of the people, by the people, for the people” must include the people who aren’t men.

REBECCA ROUSE and AMY CORRON | The commercial video games field has serious problems, including harmful representations of several marginalized groups, exploitative and harassing labor practices in industry, and even toxic behavior between gamers within the play community.
Centering Harriet Tubman has helped in our ongoing project to develop feminist and anti-racist game design education.
Launching Tuesday, Feb. 1, and culminating on March 10, the Harriet Tubman Bicentennial Project [[link removed]] pays tribute to this feminist icon with a special commemorative issue through Ms . online and in print. Explore the interactive groundbreaking site here [[link removed]] .
