Women In High Places

The 19th amendment was passed in the 1920's. It has been 93 years since women have gained rights but there are some places that women haven't achieve high power. The United States has yet to have a female president but its not from lack of trying. Women are becoming more and more involved with politics. Only in "2007 did Naci Poloski become the first women Speaker of the House"( ).  Women are trying to become more powerful. The election in 2008 was a memorable one.

In this election, there where many things becoming first. "Hilary Clinton was the first woman to win a major party's presidential primary for the purposes of delegate selection when she won the primary in New Hampshire on January 8. She also became the first woman to be a presidential candidate in every primary and caucus in every state" ( ). Also, Sarah Plain, the senator of Alaska, was the first women to be in the political race as a Vice President. Whoever would win this political race would make history because the other candidate, Obama, would be the first African American to be president. Which did happen, twice. Women are still fighting for the chance to run this nation and gain control. Women are so close. I personal can't wait to see the United States have their first women president and their first First Husband.
