Equality By The Numbers

Twitter: ShannonRenee


If a society is judged by its leadership, then what do these numbers say about the us?

How do they speak to our being the "land of the free and the home of the brave?"

51% - 157.2 million women in the United States (as of Oct. 1, 2010)

34% - 3 women sit on the Supreme Court

24% - 1,732 women serve in state legislatures (as of Aug. 29, 2011)

17% - 17 women serve in the Senate

17% - 72 women serve in the House of Representatives

12% - 6 women governors in the US

4% - 18 women CEOs at Fortune 500 companies

These numbers don't add up.
