A room full of women who lead some of Maryland’s districts, counties and local agencies gathered for a luncheon at the Maryland Association of Counties in Ocean City on Friday to talk about the role and influence women can have in government and administrative positions.
The “Women of MACo” luncheon was filled with dozens of women in leadership positions, who cheered remarks from the state’s first Black speaker of the House of Delegates, Adrienne A. Jones (D-Baltimore County).

In recent decades, gender perspectives and feminist studies have gradually been incorporated into the discipline of International Relations (IR) and the field of foreign policy. As researchers delve into various aspects, it is noteworthy that academia has shown significant interest in defining the scope of Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP). First and foremost, addressing this question requires clarification that there is no single definition; it is a broad concept linked to the increasing significance of gender agendas in international politics. Secondly, FFP reflects the intention to challenge power hierarchies, and gender norms, and to reconsider the origins of the State.

There is a fast-growing body of literature on women’s political representation in Africa—a continent that often challenges the existing beliefs and common understandings of women’s representation in politics developed in the Global North. A recent addition to this literature is Women and Power in Africa: Aspiring, Campaigning and Governing, edited by Leonardo Arriola, Martha Johnson, and Melanie Phillips. As a result of the research in this book, conventional wisdoms are upended. The book tackles women’s pathways into power, the gendered effects of electoral systems, media coverages of campaigns, gender stereotyping, and women’s access to campaign finances. Other variables such as educational background, family obligations, and organizational capital are also investigated. The book represents a significant contribution to the field of comparative politics and deepens the theorization of women’s representation in politics.

Prominent women under the banner, Liberian Women Peace Summit have penned a peace manifesto, calling for peaceful 2023 Elections.
One of the joint winners of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize, Liberian Leymah Gbowee, says Liberia’s progress lies on sustenance and maintenance of peace by all citizens.
Miss Gbowee jointly won the 2011 Noble Peace Prize along with former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Miss Tawakkol Karman of Yemen, “for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work.”.
