Katharine Graham on being a role model for women and the prospects of a female President

mrs. Graham in what ways have you paved the way for other women to ascend to top positions in their fields other than by example well it's hard to define except by example I mean when you when you I don't think I particularly have but I think that once you break a barrier and you are there for younger women who see you as an example that they can make it to the top I think that helps but you're saying other than by example and I don't think I can name a lot of stuff flags and that I think that it really I've heard repeatedly from younger women in Business School or graduates of Business School that they really care that somebody's made it to the top do you think we're gonna see a female president anytime the near future well I shouldn't think within your life or mine but I hope but I'm sure someday if you look at the women coming up and not only the business field but the political field they're more governor's they're more there are only six senators but they're more Congress people someday it will certainly happen but not tomorrow it's funny are you saying but it's very nice Bobby's gonna die tomorrow no I'm saying that a woman isn't gonna get elected bommana but I also want to point out that this country is much more open to women in all sorts of positions than England and yet England had a prime minister for all those years and I can't we couldn't I don't think possibly imagined that women have worked their way up and and there could have been a woman president the way there was a woman Prime Minister in a far more society I know yeah I would I was just I would add the example of Pakistan in Islamic country where Benazir Bhutto was a prime minister I mean no I'd say that's a good one right let me press the c1 very good that's dead uh we have the right not to be good as well as you
