Hello and welcome to Background Briefing, available 24-7 at Background Briefing.org.

I'm Ian Masters, and today we'll examine a number of stories and issues in the news.

We'll begin with last night's annual New Hampshire Democratic Party's McIntyre-Shahein-100

Joining us is Moira Donagan, a writer in residence at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University.

Her work has appeared in the London Review of Books, Book Forum and the Parish Review,
