A Female President Remains A Distant Dream For America
America, the world’s oldest and most mature democracy, has once again missed the opportunity to elect a woman to its highest office. After Hillary Clinton, this marks only the second time in the nation’s 248-year political history that a woman has managed to contest presidential election. Yet voters did not seize the chance to break the glass ceiling in American politics by electing Kamala Harris as the nation’s first female president. Instead, they paved the way for Donald Trump’s return to the White House. This outcome underscores the fact that the office of the U.S. presidency has remained an exclusive domain for men, with entry for women still restricted by deep-seated gender biases that continue to challenge the political careers of female candidates.
