Devanshi's story
girls face a deep gender bias
and how things have not changed
as much as we'd like to think.
when I became mayor
of San Francisco is
I appointed a female Police Chief
and then a female Fire Chief.
When they both show up
at the podium in a disaster,
a lot of national media
will look there and say,
"Where's the Police Chief?"
"She's right here."
"Where's the Fire Chief, then?"
"Well, she's right here."
People thought I was trying to
make some grand statement
when, in fact,
I was actually just hiring
the most qualified two candidates.
The incredible opposition
and those that feel it's
too much, too soon, too fast.
They never would have questioned
that had they been men.
Little boys and little girls,
when they're 7 years old,
President of the United States
when they grow up...
about 30%.
But then you ask the same
question when they're 15,
and you see
this massive gap emerging.
So we have
this gendered socialization,
where politics
is considered to be for men.
Leadership is considered to be
a masculine pursuit,
and women are discouraged from
pursuing ambitious positions.
if you do not have women there,
then girls do not see
that they can be that,
so it's really what you see
that inspires your idea
of what's possible for you
in the world.
I do disagree with Sarah Palin
on a lot of issues,
but seeing her up onstage there
with her young family
and her young baby
was just beautiful,
and I thought, "You know what'?"
Maybe I could give this a shot
as well."
Having this opportunity to see women,
to see women leadership,
to see woman's leadership
in reality and on the screen
and in the television
is huge for women... huge.
Because you don't have that many
women really in leadership,
so the way that it gets done,
to a certain extent,
and the way problems get solved
often have to do with Hollywood
and the films that get made,
the documentaries,
the television shows.
and people are watching television.
Siebel Newsom:
There are some examples
but in general, the situation
professionally at the age of 28
complex roles to play.
when my agent told me
to lie about my age
from my rsum
because it might be threatening.
Well, I didn't do either,
but my confidence was really shaken.
