In 2015, 104 (76D, 28R) women held seats in the United States Congress, comprising 19.4% of the 535 members; 20 women (20%) serve in the United States Senate, and 84 women (19.3%) serve in the United States House of Representatives. How do you think that affects policy? How do those policies affect our daily lives? At the rate we're going, the United States won’t reach gender parity in public office for at least another century. I can't wait that long, and neither can Sara Guillermo. Sara works for iGNite (http://www.ignitenational.org/), a non-profit organization building a movement of young women to become political leaders.
