The Year of the Woman Voter
by Ellen R. Malcolm (Ellen Malcolm is President of EMILY's List.)
The following article and the accompanying chart of voters by year and sex,
by Ellen Malcolm, President of EMILY'S List, demonstrates that in 1992
women voters turned out in record numbers. This was "The Year of the Women".
Women voters, dismayed by the all-male panel of senators at the Thomas nomination
hearings went to the polls the next year in record numbers.
In 1992 more than 60 million women voted, helping to elect 24 new women to the
House and five to the Senate, the largest increase in history. When 16 million of these
women voters chose to stay home on election day 1994, Republicans
gained control of the Congress for the first time in 40 years. Now these same women
voters are poised to play a decisive role in the outcome of both the presidential and
congressional contests.
