Ok, let's see how close you got.
In the House of Representatives there are 76 women out of 438 representatives. 16 are Republicans, 60 are Democrats.
In the Senate there are 17 women out of 100 representatives. 4 are Republicans and 13 are Democrats.
What do you think of these numbers? Appropriate for a Democracy? Appropriate for our country? Should gender matter at all? And finally, do you think that the political situation in the United States would be different with more women in congress?
