There are 50 wards in Chicago that build this smaller government that still doesn’t have more women as in those position that have power. We need more women in power to help and protect women’s rights. All of the women who were elected didn’t win the position as alderman Still we don’t have enough women in wards that with help the women from today be successful in life today, We have Ronda Locke and Anne Shaw in the 1st Ward; Stacey Pfingsten (2nd Ward); Tara Baldridge (8th Ward); Olga Bautista (10th Ward); Susan Sadlowski Garza (10th Ward); Maureen Sullivan (11th Ward); Guadalupe Rivera (16th Ward); CM Winters (21st Ward); Juanita Irizarry (26th Ward); Tammie Vinson (28th Ward); Zerlina Smith (29th Ward); Irma Cornier (31st Ward); Tara Stamps (37th Ward); Dianne Daleiden (40th Ward); and Denice Davis (46th Ward). All of them are some of them are the female candidates alderman but some of them won the position. According to Progressive candidate Smith, one of seven competitors looking to unseat incumbent Ald. Deborah Graham in the 29th Ward on the West Side, said the Chicago City Council has much room for improvement in terms of gender diversity. She is saying that Chicago hasn’t changed as much even if they have women in the government and that there is more to do. Women are always seen as not capable of doing more for the community if they are in charge of it.
Only three women are alderman in the city of Chicago wards, women aren’t are able to make a change for their communities if there aren’t a lot women in the local government. Small amount of women in the wards that means not a lot of women are running because of men who are trying to be re-elected into office and because of the big gap that women don’t have experience. People want experience, goes by their word care for the people and listen to the people. A lot of women are being denied to even run so, how can women become a big representation if people mostly men aren’t let women have power to make the policies that are needed to make the better life for the people. The part of the problem is that people don’t think that women can become leaders but they are wrong they can become great leaders. Women aren’t given the opportunity to the people to show that can do incredible things.
The y-axis is the number of women and the x-axis is the years (1968-2012). The
Another thing that women work double the work and then they don’t give the opportunity to show what they can do to help the people who need it. The bad part is that people don’t know that women are important in congress because they can make life easier for women and men. Making policies like to help women with birth control or abortion. Helping men by helping the economy of the country.
