Via Feministing comes the speech that Obama gave prior to signing his executive order that created the White House Council on Women and Girls:
I think that it was a rather good speech, even though I really wish that he had said something about sexual violence. And I’m cautious but still incredibly optimistic about what this move signals, if nothing else, about Obama’s dedication to tackling inequality and those issues affecting women.
What do you think about the Council itself, and what are your hopes for it?
