Women and Democracy: Beyond the Presidential Elections

This week on Love (and Revolution) Radio, we're weighing in on the subject you've been waiting for: the presidential elections. We explore the dynamics surrounding female presidential candidates, and then dive into a broader concept of women and democracy. We boldly go into the discussion of how real democracy, feminine principles and nonviolent people-power go hand-in-hand for re-balancing everything in our world.
