Woman and power
One of the things getting a lot of attention is Robin Givhan's story in the Washington Post, Condoleeza Rice's Commanding Clothes (registration may be required).
"Rice's appearance at Wiesbaden -- a military base with all of its attendant images of machismo, strength and power -- was striking because she walked out draped in a banner of authority, power and toughness. She was not hiding behind matronliness, androgyny or the stereotype of the steel magnolia. Rice brought her full self to the world stage -- and that included her sexuality."
Seems like Condi's done a lot of clothes shopping lately for her new job, and it shows. She's definitely been looking good. posted by liz at 12:33 PM
