That's right! Tomorrow is the day that she is going to elected Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
There will also be a record 71 female representatives this session, giving women 16 percent of the seats.
And while that IS cause to celebrate.... we've still got a long way to go baby (even if we're allowed to smoke in public places a la those crap Virginia Slims ads from the 1980s. But that's another story)
According to the Inter-Parliamentary Union, an association of national legislatures, women make up a larger share of the national legislature in 79 other countries, including China, Cuba, North Korea and Vietnam, The U.S. even trails a couple of fledgling democracies: ie Afghanistan and Iraq.
How's that for a grim comparison?!
