“I have no idea what I’m doing,” said Analea Patterson, a 43-year-old lawyer in Sacramento. “The first thing I did was hold my breath and do my own contribution for 10 times more than I had ever done before, which was very scary. I don’t know a lot of people who are going to write $2,500 checks. That’s not the world I live in.”

But Patterson said she decided to take on the project after her 8-year-old daughter asked her why there has never been a female president.

“I was completely stumped,” she said. “I didn’t have a good answer. I have two daughters, and I want them to grow up in a world where they don’t see barriers for women.”
