The Other Woman
Heard anything about the Green Party this year? Probably something about Nader running again, a while back, right? Paid any attention recently? At the moment, the candidate leading in delegates is this person:
It's a good but long article about the history of American women (not just white women) running for president. It includes a long section about how framing the primary as "race vs. gender" hurt both candidates and deprived the Democratic party of ways of strengthening its positions.
Clinton is not the only woman running for president in 2008. Former Panther Elaine Brown was in the running before splitting with Green Party over Radical politics. Mckinney is still running, currently beating Nader for the nominee by 130+ votes, tho completely ignored. No one has mentioned the gender dynamics of the media attention to Nader’s Green Party bid vs. its complete inattention to McKinney's.—"I'm Back—Women Who Ran For President," WOC PhD.
