Out-Spent, Out-Numbered, Out-Researched: The Power Of Progressive Women's Groups

The Obama victory owes a lot to its feminist allies, which identified unmarried women as a critical voting bloc and executed a strategic campaign to get them to the polls. Today pro-Democratic women’s groups dominate the Progressive political landscape, serving a critical role in growing government and keeping Democrats in power. The National Organization of Women (NOW), American Association of University Women (AAUW), National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), National Council for Research on Women, Catalyst, EMILY’s List, Women’s Voices Women Vote (or, Voter Participation Center), the League of Women Voters, and Institute for Women’s Policy Research (to name a few) are research, grassroots, and fundraising machines.
