It was fajita night to celebrate Laila Edwards' hockey homecoming when an excited shriek pierced the casual gathering in the brightly lit early 20th-century colonial she grew up in on a quiet, tree-lined street. Four generations of the Edwards family turned to see a dumbstruck Laila and long-time friend and teammate Caroline Harvey huddled over a cell phone, breathlessly giggling, one Oh, my God after another.

Instead, the Bruins played with the intensity and focus characteristic of an NCAA Tournament game, dominating from start to finish in a 96-48 triumph Wednesday night at Pauley Pavilion. The third-ranked Bruins ( 18-1 overall, 8-0 in Big Ten) won for the 12th straight time and are more than halfway to tying the program record of 23 in a row set last year. The 48-point win marked the sixth straight by 18 points or more.

Life has truly been life-ing here in 2026, and the only way any of us moms are going to make it through the darkness is by finding spots of light. And, sometimes, that means we have to be the spot of light for ourselves.

For me it just came naturally. When I started doing super fights age 14, 15, and it just came naturally to me to just walk confidently into the cage or the mat or wherever I'm fighting,

The man I was supposed to marry was someone I had known since childhood - five years older, from a wealthy Sikh family, my sister's classmate, living on the 14th floor of our high-rise building in Mumbai. He was my first crush. When I was 12, with oily braids and Coke-bottle glasses, I thought he was handsome and charming. I spent hours imagining what it would be like if he chose me.

The female hormonal system and menstrual health are extensively discussed in classical texts,

Image source, Getty Images Holders Chelsea will take on Manchester United in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup - a repeat of last year's final.

Liverpool will host Everton in a Merseyside derby after both sides enjoyed resounding victories in the fourth round.

The Washington, DC area showed up in a big way for women's hockey on Sunday. Capital One Arena welcomed 17,228 fans for a PWHL Takeover Tour matchup between the Montreal Victoire and New York Sirens, breaking the U.S. attendance record for a professional women's hockey game. Not only did fans vote with their wallets - both buying tickets in advance and quickly snatching up all available team merch minutes after doors first opened - but they also made their feelings known with their voices.

Ontario Christian opened the season ranked No. 1 in the country and Griffin is one reason why. The 5-foot-11 forward was named 2024-25 MaxPreps national freshman of the year after helping the Knights go 30-2 and knock off Etiwanda 65-63 to win the Southern Section Open Division crown before losing to the Eagles 67-62 in the Open Division regional finals. Griffin had 29 points and 11 rebounds in the first game and added 16 points and 10 rebounds in the rematch last March.

We are a multidisciplinary team at Women's Link, and we have experts in gender, violence, human rights, public policies and mental health. We have approached the case from a very comprehensive perspective, not only a legal one. The women have safeguarding plans. After talking to them, my understanding is that, at this complex time, they are placing their faith in the justice system in Spain.

Nellie attended Oakland High School when her family moved to a neighborhood outside of Chinatown after World War II, the beginnings of integration for ethnic Chinese residents who'd lived under the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882-1943). Her early life, into her late 20s, was rooted in the patriarchal culture in Chinatown and the white American mainstream. That oppression did not sustain her. Nellie's intelligence, creativity, and compassion yearned to break free.

March Madness is the big picture of the college basketball season, but the day-to-day challenges of January are key in putting that picture together. Especially in the talent-loaded SEC, which currently has nine AP-ranked teams battling each other for supremacy, while also trying to stave off upset attempts. One such powerhouse meeting comes Thursday: Texas -- coming off its first loss of the season, at LSU -- travels to South Carolina (ESPN2, 7 p.m. ET).

A little more than midway through the 2025-26 regular season in women's college basketball, UConn and sophomore Sarah Strong remain the favorites to win the NCAA title and national player of the year award -- just as they were before the season tipped off in early November. As great as Bueckers was at UConn, the Huskies are still lethal. The star combination of Strong and guard Azzi Fudd leads a deep squad that has a good chance at the program's seventh perfect season.

A guy recently commented on a picture of me and said, 'You look pregnant in that dress.' And he deleted this comment because I had a great comeback, but I wanted to do it again for you all.

Estrogen and progesterone do more than regulate the menstrual cycle. They directly influence how the digestive system works, affecting gut movement, water balance, gas production, and sensitivity. When these hormones rise and fall during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or bloating in menopause , digestion often becomes unpredictable. Understanding how this happens helps explain why bloating and discomfort follow hormonal patterns.

Kiran's* husband was more than 10,000km away from the home she shared with her in-laws in a village in northern India. But despite the vast distance, he watched her constantly through cameras which beamed into a screen in his Brisbane home. He would say: I can always see what you do', she recalls through an interpreter. While her husband was visiting his family home in India in 2017, the cameras were installed in the house

While I'm disappointed I couldn't play this season, I'll be rooting for the Phantom,

Since its founding, Supermajority has contacted more than 20 million women voters, organizing for candidates including Democratic Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Katie Hobbs of Arizona and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, as well as for then-Vice President Kamala Harris' unsuccessful presidential bid last year. The group plans to connect its volunteers with other organizations that do grassroots organizing work, starting with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Gabriela Fundora climbs one spot to No. 4 since our last update, and Mikaela Mayer remains at No. 6 after unifying three junior middleweight world titles. Also holding their positions following incredible victories are No. 7 Alycia Baumgardner and No. 9 Yokasta Valle. The biggest change comes from Elif Nur Turhan, who makes her top-10 debut after a standout performance against previously unbeaten Beatriz Ferreira.

The gender pay gap in the UK has narrowed since 1997, but it hasn't disappeared. As of April 2025, women still earn 12.8% less than men, according to the Office for National Statistics. The reasons are structural: women are overrepresented in lower-paid roles such as nursing and teaching, and underrepresented in higher-paid sectors. Even graduates who studied the same subjects see pay diverge early, with men out-earning women soon after entering the workforce.

Hysteria was long attributed to a wandering uterus. The earliest text blaming women's reproduction for illness was the Kahun Gynaecological Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1900 BC. Women's wombs were blamed for things like choking, cognitive deficits and the inability to speak, and paralysis. Treatments for women were always nonsurgical: swallowing medicine or rubbing it on the body; fumigating the womb with oils or incense.

Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel Anthony Tata wrote in a memo last month that the effort is to determine the "operational effectiveness of ground combat units 10 years after the Department lifted all remaining restrictions on women serving in combat roles." Tata requested Army and Marine leaders to provide data on the readiness, training, performance, casualties and command climate of ground combat units and personnel.

Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you're a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they were echoed by a man - who then received credit for them? Have you observed a gendered division of labour in your workplace; a pay gap; gender, racial or class prejudices? Have you felt pressured to choose between being a wife, a mother and a scientist? Most women in science have.

I was raised by entrepreneurs, but I never wanted to be one. Instead, I saw myself in a big corner office in the city. I started climbing the corporate ladder, but being laid off twice showed me that a corporate career wasn't as secure as I thought. I started freelancing, and soon opened a marketing agency called No Subject. We focused on events and influencers, back when we were still calling them bloggers.
