Briefly describe the role of women in U.S. politics.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Unlike a number of other countries(including Great Britain, Germany, India, Israel, Pakistan, Argentina, Chile, and Philippines), the United States has never had a woman serving as president or even vice president. In the U.S. Congress, 81 percent of the members are men. In other important elective offices(governor, mayor, state legislator), only a handful of the decision makers are women. These numbers have not changed much since the early 1990s.
