I am an artists specialized in womens issues. My current project "Flor de Tierra, Homage to the Women of Juarez" was featured in Women's eNews.
I was also honored to be named one of the 21 Leaders of the 21st Century.
Women's eNews has provided invaluable support and is the most reliable source of information for news and women's issues.

I am new to Women's eNews on- line. That I found it, I'm not sure how. I am thrilled that it did.
I am a graduate of an unique program in Toronto, Canada. It is called the Assaulted Women and Children's Cousellor/Advocate Program. It trains women to work with women in the shelter system. I did work with women in shelters. I have also worked with many other marginalized populations of women in situations of poverty, homelessness, in conflict with the law, with issues with their children, with their partners, with gender issues and through all the sorts of violence, neglect and disrespect that our society and culture - Canadian and American - put so many of us through.
I have often felt unsupported and fatigued in the work.
In the last few years, I was having a difficult time finding ways to uplift and support myself in the on-going never-ending work needed to be done and to be done in so many arenas.
Your site which names the stuff to "Cheer" helps uplift and support me and my work.
Reading what other women are doing and succeeding doing uplifts and supports me and my work.
Thank you thank you thank you,
Cher
P.S. I, regularly, forward the newsletter to other women in the work.

Women eNews is indespensable for our work here at the American Bar Association Commission on Women.
For each of our business meetings, we put together a compilation of news articles regarding women's issues called "Food for Thought." It's an invaluable resource for our members and sometimes an article will help dictate what our next project is or help support an ongoing initiative, such as most recently, pay discrimination and the Equal Pay Act, for which we lobbied Congress. Many of the articles we include come from Women eNews. While our work primarily focuses on issues professional women face in the work place, it's important for us to have a wide view of women in the world. And that is what Women eNews offers us.
Thank you. Keep up the great work and keep those articles coming!

I have to give this organization a poor review. I made a donation to the organization and attended a few events with Women's eNews. I am a writer in the city and a number of individuals that I know wrote pieces for the magazine. The stories I heard about the treatments of writers was horrendous, extremely late payments from the administration, disrespect from the President. I was wary but continued to investigate as it was an organization that I wanted to support. I later found out that the treatment of the writers extended to interns and staff as well, having heard a poor report from a past employee. All in all, I was disappointed at the management of Women's eNews, and found I could no longer support them with my dollars.

Make sure that the leadership was taking succession planning and building their talent bench very seriously. They need to diversify and make sure that the organization is not run by only one person.

I am a contract lobbyist for a variety of health and human services organizations in Pennsylvania. I read Women's eNews regularly and frequently forward it on to my clients. I also serve on the boards of the state Planned Parenthood and a local community health and wellness foundation. There are so few main stream media outlets that provide this kind of coverage. I always appreciate not only the information but the perspective. The international coverage serves to remind me of how much we have in this country and how important it is that all women in free countries be aware of the difficulties women in other less democratic countries face.

We.news has become for me one of the authentic sources of objective information on women's issues. Through We.news, I stay abreast of current issues in women's lives across the world. I have found information from We.news useful for teaching and research. Some of the stories of the experiences of women provide vivid illustration for my students interested in 'her story'.

Inspirational and often upsetting. Every day--every single day Women's E-News has a story that makes me catch my breath a remind me that no matter how far we've come, how long the road is. Its not an occasional story slated in among celeb news and foreign dispatched -- it is day in and day out a barometer of women's lives and concerns across the world. Bravo.
As a professional journalist, I find it an extraordinary tool for keeping the compact between me and and all other women.

I have been active in breastfeeding support and advocacy for over 40 years. Things have changed a lot in the media's treatment of this topic in four decades, from a hush-hush attitude in the early days to headline exploitation for titillating the reader today. Women's eNews has been a refreshing change. They cover breastfeeding as the important women's issue it is. They mention breastfeeding when it is relevant in stories on other topics. No sensationalism, no proselytizing, just the facts, presented with respect. This, in taddition to their many other virtues (global viewpoint, coverage of "minority" news and views, Arabic language service, etc.) has made me a loyal reader and contributor.

I have met reporters from Women's eNews at a couple of national conference. I was interviewed once, and I watched the way both reporters covered the territory, very efficiently tending to business, talking to a variety of participants. When I read their articles later, I thought they accurately presented what I had seen happening.

There should be more attention to Women's enews because it tells the truth without hype or distorting the facts. The only time this happens is when the facts are not known by a respective author at any given time, who still does his or her best to record their stories as accurately as possible. Womens Enews is not just for women; no one can be disconnected from women, especially children. In other words, the topics covered in Womens enews are relevant to families and all populations whose lives women touch. I can't think of anyone this leaves out in terms of truthful and current journalism that's timely and as accurate as possible. The more exposure these issues get, the better.

Its accurate reports regarding women in the courts on both sides of the bench, the true stories of what goes on in our country's courtrooms is stranger than fiction. Regular news does not represent how women are regarded in the courts, by other women who either do not know the impact of their actions, or think they are untouchable.

Change the name or format so that its truth in journalism were better and more appropriately exposed.

As a university professor whose fields are history and women's Studies, and the co-author of a college level textbook introducing women's Studies, I find women's enews extremely helpful in keeping up to date across a myriad of breaking stories related to women around the world and in the USA. It gives useful summaries of events, thoughtful analysis of their importance, and calls attention to women's important across the globe. Without it, keeping in touch with these matters would be much more difficult. I applaud the way it is conducted and wish it a long future.
