Women Hold Tea Parties

See this Wall Street Journal article which dismisses the notion that the Tea Party movement is one led by "angry, white men." It turns out not to be the case:
A recent Quinnipiac poll of voters found a majority of tea party supporters—55%—are women. To put that in perspective, only 48% of women voted for George W. Bush in 2004. And just two years ago, President Obama won 56% of the female vote.
The article goes on to identify, and quote, several women who are founders and regional leaders of this movement; a movement which has no national leaders.
