The Power of Pissed off Women

"As NOW feminists, our goal is nothing short of radical inclusiveness, as we work to build an organization, a movement, and a society that values diversity and upholds respect for every single woman and girl…We are stronger together, and united for equality." NOW President Terry O'Neill has a new op-ed at The Huffington Post.
