The Perfect 10
In the Perfect 10 newsletter, the President/CEO of Future Forward Women, C. Nicole Mason, PhD, writes about and covers the top 10 issues bubbling up in women’s lives. She’s single mother by choice to boy-girl twins, a feminist, a news and popular culture junkie, and a believer in the possibility of BIG change.
She’s a feminist by accident or luck, having been a part of the women’s movement, founding and working at leading women’s organizations for over two decades. She’s seen a lot—and has an opinion about much of it.
From her perch, the top 10 issues impacting women are:
Childcare (not enough, too costly, & should be free.)
Paid sick and Family Leave (it’s barbaric that we don’t all have paid leave.)
Reproductive Health & Rights (my body, my choice. Reproductive Justice for all.)
Pay Equity and Transparency (equal pay for equal work should be the law of the land.)
Leadership (Women are 50% of the population but only a fraction of the world’s leaders—we’re doing it all wrong.)
Power (More power, please, and make it snappy!)
Money & the Wealth Gap (We could all use more $$$, and at this rate, we’ll never close the wealth gap.)
Politics (are everywhere and in everything.)
Family (is created and can be a beautiful mosaic of chosen folk…that you kind of want to strangle from time to time).
Race & Ethnicity (Intersectional Queens rule.)
