When Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump accused his presumptive Democrat opponent, Hillary Clinton, of playing the ‘woman’s card’ in the race to the White House, it backfired.
Clinton was the first to respond, unleashing many other retorts from both women and men – and an extra $2.4 million in campaign fundraising.
“If fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in!” Clinton shot back.
One of our favorite commentaries came from Kirsty Styles, writing onthenextweb.com: Styles writes about a deck of cards in production now by a creative sister and brother team which is celebrating famous women, such as Harriet Tubman, Susan B.

While enamored of the idea, in her column Styles points out that the Woman Card deck doesn’t reference any female tech innovators who’ve made America great.
Styles suggests three to get the creators of the card deck fired up for tech: Pioneering computer programmer Grace Hopper, Radia ‘don’t call me the Mother of the Internet’ Perlman and women in tech champion Anita Borg. For the full article click here
