Take Cues from Women Here

When Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni recently suggested Ehud Olmert should step aside and let her be prime minister, nobody batted an eye over the fact she is a woman.

Golda Meir laid that debate to rest in Israel nearly 40 years ago, this Reuters article out of D.C. by David Alexander starts off.

So why has the United States, where Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, never elected a woman to the White House? the article continues. According to the article, partially because the rules of U.S. politics are set by wealthy white males.

Good read. Worth a browse.
