"If you have a board, & you have no women on tht board, they're going to make the wrong decision." -Dolores Huerta (who is awesome) #MissRep
Great 2 see figs like Cory Booker, Gavin Newsom, & Condoleezza Rice acknowledge underrep of women in politics undermines democracy. #MissRep
Even if you know the stats seeing them on-screen is appalling. In U.S. history only 34 women vs. 2319 men have served as governors. #MissRep
#MissRep doing great job showing how objectification of women & girls disempowers them politically+implications of this for our "democracy."
