Thank you, Janet. Probably it's women with increased experience who leverage that into influence, intentionally or not. I did not know of either of those ladies. THIS is why i want to hear.

I didn't know about her late start in politics but it makes sense now that I think about popular expectations for women born in that decade. In my state, two elder stateswomen, Norma Paulus (R born in 1933) and Barbara Roberts (D born 1936, is still living), inspired many more women to pay attention and get involved and serve in ways that had far-reaching impact. Jackie Winters (D born 1937) was another. All very different stories, but equally interesting.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norma_Paulus
