I cannot doubt that women will line up, like the men elected, with the groups whose political thinking and convictions are in accord with their own political convictions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When given the chance, women have proven they will participate in the electoral process.
I look forward to the day when there are more women politicians accepted in their own right and not as 'women politicians.'
Women are tough campaigners. They certainly know how to withstand attacks. And I think we make a mistake if we say, as some do, that women should play by different rules, or that they are somehow especially vulnerable to the rules of politics. I don't think that's true.
As women have played an increasingly important role in politics, there is no question that they've brought a different perspective, focusing attention on a broader set of issues and building alliances with other women.
If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.
Women need to become conscious of the impact that their attitudes and actions can have on future generations of voters and politicians.
I have spent my whole life trying to prove that women can get into politics. I'd now say to them, 'For God's sake don't do it - you'll get slaughtered.'
Politics is so much about serendipity that we've got to have a bigger pool of women, so that when people drop out of the process, you've got others to turn to.
At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.
Women, if left to their own devices, are going to tend and trend Democratic. That is absolutely the case.
