In other coutries women have lead the country: Golda Meir in Israel, Indira
Gandhi in India, Margaret Thatcher in the U.K., Benezir Bhutto in Pakistan,
and so on. Yet in the U.S., one of the countries where women supposedly
have achieved equality, a female Presidential candidate isn't taken
seriously. Elizabeth Dole couldn't raise money for her campaign. When
Walter Mondale chose Geraldine Ferraro to be his running mate, some people
in the press speculated that it mean he ad already conceded the election.
Also, did y'all watch the coverage of the (admittedly brief) Dole campaign?
Would a male candidate have his hair, clothes, and even demeanor scrutinized
in that way?
Kelly makes a great point. As advanced as we claim to be, some doors are
still closed to women.
Regards,
Caity
