The Year of the Woman

In the 2012 election, women made history by taking 98 seats, the highest ever in Congress. Among these amazing women include the first Buddhist to join the Senate, as well as the first Hindu and the first openly bisexual woman in the House. As the WashPo reports, "House Democrats became the first caucus in the history of either chamber not to have a majority of white men."

It is a good year to be a woman.
