For these liberal women, the future of Democratic politics is still female
There were two kinds of women waiting in line outside of the Anthem theater for the 40th anniversary celebration of Emily's List, the organization dedicated to electing Democratic women who support abortion rights: Those who'd arrived straight from work, and those who'd had time to change. The former showed up in variations of the liberal working woman's uniform: black pants, oversize blazers and comfortable closed-toe shoes, all in neutral shades. The latter arrived in the vestments of girlboss-meets-girlhood: Barbie-pink power suits and flouncy floral dresses.
