The Power of Women Needs the Power of Women

What could young female voices do to improve the world for their own generation? Women drive 70 to 80 percent of all consumer purchasing though their buying power and influence, yet their views, opinions, and voices are seldom heard on the political platform when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Women are the child-bearers and, often, the primary child caregivers, yet our voices are often muted when it comes to topics like abortion and education. We have young women out there who are defying the odds of what we are told. These young women, and women like them, could change the world - not only for their own generation, but for the many generations after them.

It’s time we begin empowering, embracing, and encouraging more young female voices to enter the political arena.

Today, I discuss the power of empowering young women to speak up about their political beliefs, support other female political candidates, and participate at the polls. I discuss how the Republican party is trying to attract more female voters and candidates and how Trump is grossly missing the mark in appealing to young female voters. I discuss why female voices are critical for moving the needle on important political topics like fiscal responsibility, education, and abortion rights. I share tips for encouraging more female voices to step out of their comfort zone and step into politics. I also explain why I decided to interview the next few Political Contessa guests to share their stances on various topics currently being discussed by politicians and why we should all want more women like them to actively participate in politics.

“It’s really important to have more women to speak, to have their voices out there. It shows that we have these young women who can speak to other women, who can have these conversations.”

- Jennifer Nassour
