Does Obama lead towards a feminist agenda?

Ms Magazine features Barack Obama as a Super Feminist, pictured tearing off his superman shirt saying "This is what a feminist looks like".

There are high expectations amongst feminists as to how much gender will influence the policy agenda.

Feminists believe that previously under the Bush administration certain legislation would not have been signed so was not put forward.

Many feminists are hopeful that more pro-feminist legislation will now get through the Senate.

Feminists believe that the Obama Administration is listening to women and asking the right kind of questions for women. Equal Pay, Children's Health and various Domestic legislation will be watched closely.

Michelle's success as the First Lady is also seen as an incredible moment for women around the world as many believe she represents the struggles of many mothers and working women.
