"We still haven't elected a woman on the national ticket in either party," says Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history and political science. "I think we still have a long way to go before we can talk about equality. But what we're talking about is progress." She was featured in the WAER segment "Women Making Progress in Securing Elected Office, But Equality Remains Elusive." Thompson was also quoted in the American Prospect article "Women Will Decide Which Man Is Right for the Job." 08/21/20
