Back in the early '90's my wife told me that an African-American man would


be elected President of the United States before any woman of any color. At the time I argued with her because I was hard-pressed to see any black person carrying a southern state and because there were several prominent women rising politically at the time. She was right.

But the thing is that the United States specifically was founded on high ideals but then somehow tried to rationalize and institutionalize slavery and then second-class citizenship. Rights for minorities and for women have gone hand-in-hand, despite the efforts of some women to reinforce the segregated status quo.
