The Monster Sorority of Women Voters
Take the issue of leadership. Black women are far more likely than white women to see themselves as leaders — by a margin of 40 percent to 26 percent. Correspondingly, they are much more likely to be glad a woman is on the presidential ticket (80 percent to 57 percent) and that the woman in question is Mrs. Clinton.
This could well be connected to material realities: 71 percent of employed black women said they are the primary wage earners in their households, compared with 48 percent of white women who work. And yet the women themselves had their own explanations.
