In December 2014, three "non-contacted" Amazon tribespeople – a young man, his mother and an elder female relative — were led out of the forest they had lived in their whole lives and taken to a village.

More than 130 female activists from 38 countries pressed the leader of the United Nations on Tuesday to fulfill a goal he declared after assuming the job a decade ago: a permanent peace treaty to end the Korean War.

“Public opinion is firmly on the side of ending family planning policies,” Dr. Yi said, basing his conclusion on the tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of online comments that have now vanished, his public speaking in China, and reactions to the social and statistical research in his book “Big Country With an Empty Nest,” which was published in China in 2013.

The new results add depth and complexity to our emerging understanding of Pan paniscus, the enigmatic, lithe great ape with the dark licorice eyes, who lives only in the Democratic Republic of Congo and is seriously endangered. The bonobo is a sister species to the more widespread common chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes, and the two share equal footing as our nearest primate kin.

China continues to emphasize marriage in its official media, entreating women not to wait for Mr. Right. But demographics and changing social mores make that a tough sell.
Last year, 12 million Chinese couples registered for marriage, making it the second consecutive year the number has declined. Divorces, which stem from some of the same trends, reached 3.8 million last year, more than twice the level of a decade ago.

Philip Galanes: You’re both striking rare notes in the culture. Tracee’s show is about a black family facing real-world problems. It’s one of a kind. And the senator is on fire on the campaign trail. But there’s very little of the usual criticism. Why are we so receptive to you now?
Tracee Ellis Ross: It’s hard to answer about myself, but there’s a “we” in the way the senator speaks. She’s right there with us. That’s something “black-ish” does, too. We’re not looking, objectifyingly, at this family. We’re on the inside with them. Maybe that’s why everybody likes you.
Elizabeth Warren: Trust me, they don’t. I was thinking of how your character on “black-ish” gets to an essential truth. She’s this enormously well-put-together woman, right? She’s a doctor; she saves lives. And she’s not taking flak from anyone. Except when one of her children makes her think she’s not a good mother. Vulnerability underlies everything we care about. We put so much effort into being strong and independent, but at heart, we’re all just working to keep it together. And I don’t just mean the working mom thing.

Renho Murata became the first woman to lead the opposition Democratic Party in Japan after winning a leadership contest on Thursday.
Ms. Murata, who has served in the country’s upper house of Parliament for more than a decade, won in a landslide against two male competitors despite controversy over her part-Taiwanese heritage.

Toni Frissell should be credited for making women in fashion look like real people

Among democracies in the developed world, Japan has one of the worst records of putting women in positions of political power

This month, pupils across France will be able to use the first full-size anatomical model of a clitoris in their sex education classes. Considering all the technological, medical and scientific achievements humans have made, this seems to have taken a long time. But it was worth the wait. The truth is, you might struggle to gain pleasure from a tool you don’t even know you have. In 2016, women finally know without speculation what the whole of their sexual organ looks like; and for many it won’t be quite what they imagined.
