Gov. Minner is one of five state governors, as well as the governor of Puerto Rico, who are women. The article states that in 2001, women held 1,656, or 22.3 percent of the 7,424 state legislative seats available, down from 1,760, or 22.5 percent in 2000. Female legislators were asked to lend advice to women who may be interested in pursuing a career in politics. A lot of women do have family commitments, a home to run and another job, so they think they can't do it. They really can - it's called organization.
Men have just as much responsibility for the family and home.
If women are willing to assert themselves, they can run for public office. For a copy of the magazine, contact Michelle Reardon in the governor's office. Legislative Hall, Dover, Delaware, 19901.
