AOC: The Fresh Faced Woman

 


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been the talk of female politics since 2018 when she beat out Joe Crowley, a powerful 10-term incumbent for the the seat at New York's 14th congressional district. AOC, as she is widely known, has found quite the presence in the media as she is a women who does not stand for many of the injustices that women before her have faced. The Congresswomen has spoken out blatantly against Republican lawmakers who have used very sexist terms to describe her. Newspapers like the New York Times have praised AOC for standing her ground and overall the coverage of the young congresswomen has brought a new fire to the House floor. AOC who was raised in the Bronx, NY has become a representation of what a hardworking women can accomplish in the United States. Although the AOC's media coverage has not always been so kind, Vanity Fair recants an incident in which a Maryland man was arrested after plotting to AOC among other female democrats. The spotlight surely comes with pressure, but AOC is making headway for women in politics and we hope to see more and more of that.

Since her time, we have seen first ladies make their own way by creating staple fashion statements to reform school lunch systems. Now, we look to our newest addition to a long line of regal women, Dr. Jill Biden. Many people see the first lady as just ''the president's wife'', but over time we have seen how powerful women like Michelle Obama have also left their mark on their husband's presidency. Dr. Biden is no stranger to the media and the First Lady seems to be finding her own way in the media as she visits the Navajo Nation.   Dr. Biden gave a speech that expressed to the people of the Navajo Nation the plans of president Biden to build up the people. As we all know the United States does not have the best history with the Native Americans. Dr. Biden's involvement with the people of the Navajo nation shows a public consideration that we hav...
