Clinton’s vow to bring gender equity to the president’s Cabinet is radical

[Rose Siding]

.....In total, 29 different women and 509 men have served as secretaries of these cabinets over the course of American history.

As you might expect, things have gotten a little better in recent years. Eight of the 33 Cabinet members Barack Obama has appointed were women, or 24 percent. For George W. Bush it was six of 34, or 18 percent. For Bill Clinton it was five of 28, also 18 percent. But nobody has even approached 50 percent.

So if Hillary Clinton does actually bring gender equity to her Cabinet, it will be something positively revolutionary. And who knows, she might even let a woman lead Treasury or Defense. That’s more than a bit overdue.

1. It's way past time to bring women in the upper echelons of government.

I was pleasantly surprised when she said that. There are a lot of well qualified women that would make a positive impact in Cabinet positions. Besides, it will drive the Republicans crazy, and that's like a cherry on top of the cake.
