Women tend to give political candidates only about 10 percent of what males give, and males give women candidates only 10 percent of what they give to males.

Women are not only deciding the outcome of elections, they serve as important role models for their daughters and other young women - they hold a key to expanding the way in which women value and experience politics.
When given the chance, women have proven they will participate in the electoral process.
Women have more to prove than men when it comes to politics.
I think sometimes women are not driven by the same, albeit, testosterone power thing that pushes men to get into politics.
Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.
If supporters of equality for women want to vote for the best candidate, they must look to a person regardless of gender and must disregard the gender of political opponents.
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.

You get elected, often, if you're a woman, on the strength of the women's vote; then you get into office, and you have to adapt to an overwhelmingly male environment.
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state; nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
