Women can, but will they?

A letter to the editor in today's Globe:

Canada has had women as prime minister, governor-general, chief justice and senior cabinet ministers (The Hurdle To Leap In The Next Election – editorial, Jan. 11).

Women can climb to the very top of Disraeli’s greasy pole. The question is not can they, but will they?

That requires all parties to restore the traditions of a civil Parliament that sits and focuses on issues rather than personalities.

Therein lies our real challenge.
