We surely saw it in action this year as superdelegates and other power brokers who were women rushed to support Obama, despite Clinton being the far superior candidate. Clinton herself rushed to Obama's side once the convention was over. Do women in America think there are no more challenges left? Do we/they think that because some women have risen up somewhat through the economic ranks in certain areas, that it's game over? What do people hypothesize to issues to be that have left us so passive about our still disproportionate numbers at the tables of power? The New Agenda's agenda couldn't be more timely. And, I for one, can't wait for that 17% button to wear all the time. I can’t help but wonder why this is so.

The New Agenda’s agenda couldn’t be more timely.

And, I for one, can’t wait for that 17% button to wear all the time.

My home country is number 6! I'm SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And apparently not delusional when I felt stunned by the hostility towards women when we immigrated to the US. My country, for all that is overwhelmingly Catholic and conservative, does treat women better. Huh. Holy ! My home country is number 6! I’m SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
