Women To Be 20 Percent Of Senate

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•45 • Nov 9, 2012

Women will occupy a record 20 of the U.S. Senate’s 100 seats when the 113th Congress opens in January, the result of numerous high-profile election victories, including Elizabeth Warren’s in Massachusetts and Tammy Baldwin’s in Wisconsin. What do you think?

“That’s a great first step, but they won’t be truly equal until there are 25, or maybe 30, women in the Senate.”

“Women can get nothing done just as well as men can, and it’s a disgrace that percentage isn’t higher.”

“At least their salaries will save the government some dough.”
