Policies on education, economics, health, personal freedom, taxes and the environment

are decided on by 212 men and 38 women*.

* in the 2009-2010 legislative session.

Ever wonder how this imbalance of power affects the priorities and policies that become law?

Page 5: Women In Pennsylvania

Women’s talents are underutilized in the legislative process and their interests are underrepresented.

This shortchanges everyone.

Page 6: Women In Pennsylvania

How can we ensure decisions are made that benefit all of us?

Page 7: Women In Pennsylvania

What would be different if more women participated in Pennsylvania politics?

Women work together.They listen, build consensus, and support diverse interests.

The process for developing laws could be improved and the issues women care about would have a

stronger voice at the table of government.
