By some key measures, they are still the “second sex.” American women make up only nine of the Fortune 500’s bigtime CEOs, fourteen of the US Senate’s hundred members, and ten percent of medical school department chairs.

But by many other measures, the influence and impact of American women is absolutely skyrocketing. Women are now a majority of voters, of college students, of first-time homebuyers. They are deciding elections, reshaping workplaces, and redefining national priorities.
