Jung Chang might be the best known female author about Communist China during the rule of Mao Zedong (Tse-Tung). She was born into communist China and lived there during the cultural revolution and the height of the Cult of Mao. Disenfranchised, disenchanted, and disillusioned, she immigrated to Britain and became a British citizen.
Her most well-known book is Wild Swans, the true story of her grandmother, her mother, and herself. Her grandmother …

The following op-ed is featured at The Daily Caller.
You’ve really done it this time Arianna Huffington.  You’ve violated the unwritten rules of our culture.  Rose above our comfort zone.  Now, sadly, we must destroy you.  But don’t take it personally.  It’s simply because, well, you’re a woman.
Here’s how we’ll do it…
First, we’ll need to create a caricature.  Something we can use to demean and diminish you – and right away!  Distract you and get that darn hammer away from the glass ceiling.  Hmmm, let’s see.  Which tools haven’t been …

Black History Month is already upon us, as no doubt those of you with school-aged children know. Schools are busy all this month sharing the stories of Black Americans and their historical contributions to our nation and culture. Because of the annual celebration that happens every February, thankfully most school children gain familiarity with the contributions of important figures like Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Dr. W.E.B.Dubois, Sojourner Truth, George Washington Carver, and of course Martin Luther King, Jr.
This year I decided to dig a little deeper, so I could bring …

On Monday, a jury found New York TV Muzzammil “Mo” Hassan guilty of second-degree murder. His crime: beheading his wife, Aasiya Hassan.
Finally!
The beheading occurred two years ago, when The New Agenda was a new organization.  What shocked me most was this:  other women’s group and women’s advocates refused to speak out at the time (other than Phyllis Chesler who thankfully shouted from the roof tops and then some).  Or if they did, they were careful, on grounds of moral relativism, to not label this murder for what it …

Celebrating the stalwart efforts of the late C. Delores Tucker, who took on Time Warner Media, Death Row Records, and Tupac Shakur for the production of vulgar and offensive “gangsta” rap lyrics

Fortune 500 female CEO’s may be few in number. For those who have decided to take charge, women are cleaning up on Wall Street.
At first glance the numbers seem discouraging. Women lead only twelve of the top 500 companies?
Look closer. Of the thirty firms that brought in the best stock market returns last year, two are led by women:
One is Dupont (DD), whose CEO, Ellen Kullman, was profiled by my colleague Carol Loomis in last year’s Fortune …
