  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

As a resident of Philadelphia, she collected a variety of documents from mostly local organizations, including flyers; pamphlets; and newspapers expressing the sentiments, attitudes, philosophies, strategies, and tactics of these various movements and participating groups and organizations. Although there is little information on McDaniel’s life story or her participation in the activities of the civil rights and black power movements, her collection documents the socio-cultural and political dynamics of the African American and multiracial struggles throughout the country. This collection is rich in documenting the on-the-ground activities of the organizing that took place primarily in Philadelphia, as well as other parts of the United States and Africa. Background note The 1940s post-war period in African American communities saw an increase in concerns for workers’ rights, which linked African American national and local politics with the political agenda of the Communist Party.

A lot depends upon how well the ANC alliance does. If the ANC emerges as the largest party, but with a narrow majority, our capacity to begin a process of thorough- going democratisation and development will be more restricted. By contrast, a massive ANC election victory will provide our movement with real momentum to move rapidly towards substantial transformation. We cannot take an election victory for granted. We cannot take the size of the victory for granted.

  • Dramaturgy for Letters to Kamala by Rachel Lynett
    Dramaturgy for Letters to Kamala by Rachel Lynett People, Places and Things to Note Compiled by Sadie Lockhart and Kristin Clippard 2 Charlotta Bass She was the first Black woman to run for vice president, in 1952. She was also a pioneering journalist. Her civil rights activism led her to address housing, work and voting rights as well as police harassment and brutality. She edited and published The California Eagle for 40 years and she championed black businesses while advocating for greater equality. Charlene Mitchell On July 4, 1968, Charlene Mitchell was nominated for president of the United States by the Communist Party USA. She was the first Black woman to be nominated for the country’s highest office by any political party. A midwesterner who saw her share of discrimination, she actively worked to dismantle racism within the economic system by encouraging desgregation. Patsy Mink Patsy Takemoto Mink, the first woman of color elected to Congress, participated in the passage of much of the 1960s Great Society legislation during the first phase of her congressional career. After a long hiatus, Mink returned to the House in the 1990s as an ardent defender of the social welfare state at a time when much of the legislation she had helped establish was being rolled back. Communist Party The Communist Party in America centers on uniting the working class under a socialist society where equal pay and opportunity are given to all. Shirley Chisholm The first Black woman elected to Congress ran against Sen. George McGovern (S.D.), who would go on to win the Democratic nomination but lose in a dramatic landslide to Republican Richard Nixon.
