We're thrilled to welcome the PWHL Takeover Tour to Capital One Arena and to celebrate the incredible momentum behind women's hockey.

Nothing about Sunday's NWSL quarterfinal was normal. The Kansas City Current entered as the most dominant No. 1 seed in league history. Gotham FC, the reigning Concacaf champions and 2023 league champions, was the most talented No. 8 seed in the league's short history of staging a quarterfinal round. And both teams played without their star forwards, the two leading scorers in the NWSL.

The headlines are clear: AI is disrupting entry-level jobs across industries, including consulting and professional services. There's just one problem. Eliminating these roles overlooks a critical business need-your pipeline of next generation leaders. The rush from pyramid to diamond workforce models is short-sighted. In the pyramid model, you grow leaders from the ground up. In the diamond model, you cut the base and bet on later-stage talent to carry the weight.

Sometimes your gut doesn't whisper - it screams. And when it does, you listen. Every woman knows that feeling: the instinct that something's wrong. Maybe it's a stranger's tone, a sudden change in someone's energy, or just that quiet pressure in your chest telling you to get out now. It's not paranoia - it's survival instinct, honed from generations of women who learned that trusting their intuition can literally save their lives.

"beyond being president, this is something that many women experience in the country and in the world; no one can violate our body and personal space."

When we talk about leadership, the focus is almost always on what you do. Communication. Influence. Strategic thinking. Decision-making. Performance.But the foundation that holds all of those things together, and that determines how well you can actually show up for them, is often overlooked: Your energy.We see this every day in our coaching and Women Rising programs. Brilliant, capable women who know what's required of them but are too depleted to consistently deliver at the level they expect of themselves.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- The defending champion UConn Huskies picked up where they left off to start the 2025-26 season: winning in (mostly) dominant fashion. UConn, ranked No. 1 in the AP preseason poll, took down No. 20 Louisville 79-66 on Tuesday in the Armed Forces Classic, a game the Huskies led by as many as 28 points before securing their 30th consecutive season-opening win, the second-longest active streak in Division I.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand -- Tennis great Venus Williams plans to play for a 33rd straight season on the WTA Tour, starting in Auckland in January. Organizers of the ASB Classic in New Zealand said Wednesday that Williams, 45, would feature at their Jan. 5-11 event. It suggests the seven-time Grand Slam singles champion is preparing for the Australian Open later that month, a tournament she has twice lost in the final.

There are 31 automatic bids with 33 at-large teams chosen by the NCAA volleyball committee. Volleyball seeds the top eight teams in each region, and the top four in each region serve as first- and second-round hosts. The rest of the bracket is filled out to balance it competitively and geographically. The highest-remaining seeds also host the regionals, and the 2025 Final Four is in Kansas City, Missouri, on Dec. 18 with the finals on Dec. 21.

However, as I neared my 40s, I thought the longer I wait, the less possible it might be from a biological perspective. I knew I didn't have all the stamina I did in my 20s and 30s. I did a lot of thinking and, after conversations with my doctor, at 38 years old, I made a choice to have my son through IVF.

As she reeled from the discovery of a pornographic website featuring AI-generated images of herself naked, the prominent Italian journalist and writer Francesca Barra said the question that struck her the most came from her young daughter. She asked me: how do you feel?', Barra, 47, said. But what I heard was another more subtle question that my pre-adolescent daughter perhaps didn't have the courage to ask, and that was: If it happened to me, how would I handle it?'.

There is hope. Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party (JIP), have released an agreement that pledges to "substantially expand" grants for scientific research and to "establish a system granting legal effect to the use of maiden names". Both are promising for researchers, but the future of Japanese science will depend on how these policies are implemented.

Leading a law firm during a time of rapid technological change and heightened political and cultural tension requires balancing innovation with stability, and progress with principle. Managing partners must modernize their firms while at the same time navigating a polarized social climate that affects clients, employees, and the public at large. Decisions are no longer just about business strategy, but about values, ethics, and maintaining trust in an era where missteps can quickly become headlines.

Women leaders often face an uphill battle to be taken seriously and rise to the top of their professions in a world characterized by male leadership. Once women enter midlife-often a time when both men and women begin taking on more serious leadership roles (think senior or executive-level positions)-that hill can feel even steeper if they find their work interrupted by sudden sweating, visible redness, or a struggle to find the right word in an important meeting.

Before that, I had no idea that I had a genetic blood-clotting disorder. Nearly 20 years later, I panic inside when I see birth control being sold over the counter, knowing that other women could have the same experience I did and that some won't survive. I really wish women were required to be tested for blood clotting disorders before they're prescribed birth control! I escaped with permanent vascular damage to most of the deep veins in my leg, but it could have been fatal.

The number of high-earning women in the UK has risen to a record 284,000, according to new analysis by Bowmore Wealth Group. The figure - covering the year to 31 March 2025 - represents a 12% increase from 254,000 the previous year and means women now make up 26% of top-rate taxpayers, up from 25% last year and 24% the year before. The top or 'additional' rate of income tax, currently set at 45%, applies to individuals earning more than £125,140 a year.

Many behaviors come across as blatantly misogynistic. However, there are also subtly sexist behaviors, which most of society ignores or even deems "normal." These attitudes and beliefs continue to negatively impact women... That's why when I recently decided to ask the women of the BuzzFeed Community to share the "microsexist" behaviors they were tired of dealing with, I received dozens of responses. From eye contact to age gaps, here are 19 of their most thought-provoking examples:

Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell announced Sunday that she has dismissed senior guard Ruby Whitehorn from the eighth-ranked Lady Vols, saying it was her responsibility to protect the program's high standards. "In light of recent events, Ruby has been unable to reflect those standards, and I have made the difficult decision to dismiss her from our team," Caldwell said in a statement. "I love Ruby and will always be rooting for her, but my priority is to uphold the respected reputation of the Lady Vols."

Chantelle Cameron relinquished her WBC super-lightweight title on Friday in a protest over women's boxing rules, with the British fighter demanding the right to fight three-minute rounds like her male counterparts. Cameron's decision to vacate her championship belt stems from her opposition to the World Boxing Council's mandate that women compete in two-minute rounds, which the 34-year-old views as unequal treatment.

Instead of being applauded, many people might face the silent wrath of those who resent their success, undermine them, or make them feel socially excluded. This phenomenon is known as the tall poppy syndrome, where those who "grow taller" than others are cut down to size. It's more than casual jealousy. Tall poppy syndrome penalizes those who stand out and stems from the desire to punish their success. The tall poppy is not rewarded, and they stay small.

The 18-year-old received a sponsor exemption on Tuesday to play in the Annika at Pelican Golf Club from 13-16 November, the penultimate event on the LPGA schedule. The tournament, which has a prize purse of $3.25m (2.45m), is prestigious and typically has one of the strongest fields of the year outside the majors. Nelly Korda is the defending champion. My dream has been to compete with the best in the world on the LPGA Tour, Trump said in a release.

She was embarking on a journey to do it all: a working mom, supporting her family with a career she loved. As track repairs tripled her commute time, things suddenly felt like they were falling apart. Instead of getting home in time to put her baby son to bed, Low found herself sobbing while breast pumping in an Amtrak bathroom.
