Women and Politics

As a result of the 2006 midterm elections, the United States has its first female speaker of the House of Representatives. We also have a female secretary of state, but as of this writing, we have never had a female president. While women are gaining more seats in politics here in the United States, the gender distribution is still very unequal, with local and state governments tending to have more female representatives than the national government. Still, attitudes toward women in politics vary and change over time. So, what do you think?
