The National Democratic Institute's Chair Madeleine Albright says that women in power "can be counted on to raise issues that others overlook, to support ideas that others oppose, and to seek an end to abuses that others accept."

Yet, while 50.8% of the US population is female, only 23.7% of Congress is female. At the state level, only 28.9% of the legislators and 29.3% of elected executive officials are female.
