This week being Presidents' Day, I have been reflecting on women in high places (in the US). Let's run the numbers:
President:
Current - 0/1 Historical - 0/43
Vice-president:
Current - o/1 Historical - 0/46
Supreme court justices:
Current - 2/9 Historical - 3/111
Senators:
Current - 17/100 Historical - 38/>2000
Congressmen:
Current - 75/435 Historical - 229/(who knows?)
Governors:
Current - 6/50 Historical - 32/(?)
You've come a long way baby? There's still quite a ways to go.
