In“dependence” for All From before 1920 when women gained the right to vote, they have been laying groundwork to establish their independence from their male counterparts and a place in the political world. They have faced slurs, abuse, and ostracism in the efforts to create equality of status and opportunity in the previously exclusive and still male-dominated world of politics. Amendments, campaigns, victories and defeats later, women face the possibility of a female candidate for presidency.

Ball talks about the successes of female politicians, all of who have something in common other than
