Description
From Suffrage to Parity -- Women's Representation lags
Women's representation in the United States has increased sluggishly over the last century. Currently, women account for approximately 18 percent of Congress and less than a quarter of state legislatures and statewide executive positions. Although women have increased their share of offices held, women's representation is still far from parity. The Jeffco League of Women Voters will examine efforts to improve women's parity, discuss the national convention and LWV's process for arriving at issue positions at its Sept. 9 meeting in the Evergreen area. The public is welcome. Refreshments will be served.
