To elect women, it's two steps forward and one step back

At fancy Washington dinner parties decades ago, it was the custom for men and women to part ways after the meal.

The men stayed at the table for brandy, cigars and Serious Talk; the women, as Katharine Graham recounted in her autobiography, retreated "to powder their noses and gossip," writes Ruth Marcus at The Washington Post.

"Mrs. Graham, mercifully, put a stop to that fusty custom. Last weekend, though, I was at a Washington dinner -- the old-friends kind, not the fancy variety -- and the genders split on their own accord.

"The men, bless their sports-addled brains, watched basketball. The women talked politics -- specifically, gender politics. Our group included veterans of Geraldine Ferraro’s vice presidential campaign, so the question naturally arose: Have things turned out better or worse for women in politics than we expected back then? "
