Okay quick, who introduced the bill in the U.S. Congress creating Women’s Equality Day? Didn’t think so. Read on:
According to a new survey released by the Pew Foundation, turns out most people think women are, wait for it, EQUAL when it comes to the ability to lead, and for some traits we are even superior!
“When it comes to honesty, intelligence and a handful of other key traits valued in leaders, the public rates women as superior to men.”
Still, a mere 6 percent say that, overall, women make better political leaders than men. The vast majority of respondents, 69 percent, ranked men and women as equally good leaders.”
Go figure.
“What the public does not say is that women inherently lack what it takes to be leaders,” Pew analysts stated
Um, maybe that is because we don’t inherently lack them? Just saying.
And can you guess who the top 10 women leaders have been? Go on, take a shot at it.
The National Women’s History Project has good information on the history of Women’s Equality Day (and another quiz if you’re in a testy mood.)
And in case you’re wondering, the answer is Bella Abzug.
