The Week in Women

Hillary Rodham Clinton via Laverne Cox via Maya Angelou via

Hillary is making headlines again (no surprise!) for her recently published memoir Hard Choices, and the speculators don't think her 2016 bid will be one of them. All the HillBuzz inspired this fascinating gender-by-the-numbers article. Worth a read.

In Ellen Degeners' words: "@LaverneCox is the first transgender person to appear on the cover of Time magazine. It's about Time." Cox said via Twitter: "Thanks @TIME for the lovely bday present, a cover story 2 highlight the profound issues trans people face everyday." Excited to see where this discussion leads us.

Dr. Maya Angelou's death prompted many tweets and posts of her prolific quotes, reminding us all of the literary genius and remarkable woman we have lost. Which quotes have influenced you?

These women have inspired me this week with their achievements and intelligence. Who has inspired you?
