Including, the first African American, South-Asian, Female to hold one of the most powerful political seats in the United States—Vice-President, Kamala Harris. According to Her Agenda, the 2021 Presidential Inauguration also “...marked the first swearing-in of a female Vice President by a female supreme court judge.
Women’s Public Leadership Network, highlights other remarkable accomplishments for women in 2020, reporting “Women of color now hold 48 seats in the U.S. House.”
