W
e are now in the midst of the
Democratic and Republican
presidential primary elec-
tions. While it is still early in the race,
there is a good chance that the Democratic
candidate will be a woman, Hillary
Clinton. And, should she win the nomina-
tion and general election, Clinton would
be this nation’s first female president.
Moreover, in 2015, there were 104
women in Congress and about 1,800
women in 50 state legislatures. But, it
wasn’t always so. In 1992, Michigan had
just one woman in Congress, Barbara
Rose-Collins.
While doing a bit of
research, I found a most
interesting article from
the July 24, 1992 JN. It
was titled “Women at
the Helm” and discussed
women as an emerging political force in
Michigan and America.
The article focused on Jewish women
in Detroit who decided to do something
about women’s low participation in poli-
tics, beginning with a lunch attended by
Lanie Pincus, Michigan State Rep. Maxine
Berman and State Sen,
Lana Pollack (the only
Jewish women in the
state legislature at the
time), Judith Slatkin,
Linda Soberman and
Zina Kramer.
This is good reading for anyone inter-
ested in the impact of Jewish women in
politics, which has led to the progress we
see today.
