Politics are a non-traditional field for women. It is often said that politics is a men's world, even though more and more women are entering the political arena. There are still not enough women in politics.
It surprised me, Ms. Phaneuf, to hear you say that about 30% of the women did not look for jobs. Why was that? Was the pressure on them to great? Did they feel threatened? Why is it that women in general tend to throw in the towel in such situations?
