The glass ceiling is a myth

Anyone who doubts the success of feminism hasn’t been paying attention to California politics. Currently, the two senators are women (Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein), my Congressperson in the 33rd District is a woman: Diane Watson, and the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, resides in my home state.

It’s an election year, and the challenger for governor is Meg Whitman, the nominee to fill Watson’s seat when she retires is Karen Bass, and there’s Janice Hahn running for Leutenant Govenor. Holly Mitchell wants to replace the speaker in the state Assembly. In the 36th district, it’s Jane Harman against Marcy Winograd.

On and on,  you get the picture. It’s such a girl’s club in California politics these days, makes you wonder what happened to the boys.
