As I was looking up women in the
midterm election results, I came across this Glamour Magazine article, titled, "
Will Women Turn Out to Vote in Tomorrow's Midterm Elections? Democrats
are Counting On It." The article outlined some of the "women's
issues" that we have been discussing in class, and interestingly had its
own "Glamour Poll" of whether or not you were going to vote.
Here were the results:
This makes me wonder the
reasons why the 8.57% said no!
Also, the article had a link to a
video from a partnership of Lena Dunham and Planned Parenthood (link directly
to video here). I thought this was an interesting
partnership between Dunham and PP, as Dunham seems to be using her celebrity
status to further her political views, and PP is leveraging
their partnership with Dunham to get the attention/support of her fans.
On another note, here's the CNN article titled,
"Selfies at the ballot box illegal?" The article also has
the celebrity selfies at the top, just like we talked about in class (look,
even Kendall Jenner voted! If a Kardashian can vote, so can you.)
