Years ago I tried to guess who might be our first female president and I finally decided it might be Barbara Boxer, I thought she was very good. *sigh* Meanwhile other countries less progressive than ours have elected leaders decades ago, Indira Gandhi of India, Golda Meir of Israel, Margaret Thatcher of the UK, Benazir Bhutto of Pakistan! And in recent recent years we've seen the Scandinavian countries and New Zealand elect female leaders as well. So what's preventing us??
