How sad is it that Pakistan elected a female leader before the US.

As of 2014 (when I put a quiz together for Women’s History Month)

What country has the highest percentage of seats held by women in parliament or federal government? Women in Rwanda hold 64% of seats in the Lower House of Parliament. Cuba is second at 49%; Sweden has 45%—The US has 18%.

How many women have been or are currently serving as U.S. governors?

36.
As of 2013, This number includes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Connecticut and Arizona are the only two states to have elected female governors from both major parties. 24 states have never had a female governor Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
