How can House Republicans show they care about the problems and concerns of women?  They can act like it and pass the When Women Succeed, America Succeeds: An Economic Agenda for Women and Familieswhich will enable women to achieve greater economic security, raise wages for working women and their families and allow working parents to support and care for their families.  Among the policies included in this agenda:

• Paycheck Fairness

• Raising the Minimum Wage

• Supporting Women Entrepreneurs and Women-Owned Small Businesses

• Paid Family and Medical Leave

• Paid Sick Leave

• The President's Preschool and Early Head Start & Child Care Initiative

• Promoting Access to Affordable and High Quality Child Care
