Fighting sexism requires vigilance
By By Ledell Zellers and Max Lenz | Oct. 29, 2014Less than a week from today, our state could elect its first female governor. It would come two years after we elected someone who had been the state’s first congresswoman to be the first woman to serve Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. Beyond that, two years from next Tuesday the country as a whole may, for the first time, put a woman in the White House. What an extraordinary set of accomplishments for those women, and for the country itself. While the prospect of these electoral victories excites me, there is one result that may accompany them that has me worried.
