OK.
Shirley Chisolm (1924), first black US Congresswoman
Patricia Roberts Harris, (1924), first black female Cabinet member
Martha Griffiths (1912), had protections for women included in Civil Rights Act
Fannie Lou Hamer (1917), Civil Rights activist
Bella Abzup (1920), Anti-Vietnam congresswoman
Satisfied?
My point is, when you ask why Millennials today aren't displaying more macho characteristics and a “disdain for women in politics” (because presumably that's what people from civic generations do), what you should be doing is looking at the 1930s and 40s or other crisis eras in the past, and compare what was going on then with what is going on today.
