I think it's obvious, given where you work, and where we are, that we have far from arrived. I think until all of our legislatures have a minimum of 50% of women in them, we cannot say that equality is here. I think it's incumbent upon all of us to recognize that these institutions are ones women look up to. If they see such a small number of women in them, I think they are sometimes reluctant to see themselves as the decision-makers and the brokers that I think they aspire to be.
