The Truth About the Political Status of U.S. Women: What are we going to do about it?

(Courtesy of equalrepresentation.org)

You can access this eBook HERE...Women hold a measly 16.6% of the seats in the U.S. Congress, 235 years after independence from the British Empire. We are 69th in the world for electing women, actually 87th on the list if you count all the ties. Why don't our political parties establish voluntary quotas, like so many other countries have done to accelerate the election of women? Have women become enablers of a national disgrace? Can we reach 30% by 2020? Call to Action!

(This provocative exposition can be used by women's groups, candidates, political entities, educators, think tanks, and others to stimulate discussion and debate.)
