What Should We Expect of a Woman President?

I have a “Barbie for President” doll in my office. EMILYs List — dedicated to electing pro-choice women to political office — sent it to me years ago. She could be mistaken for Condoleezza Rice. Though I suspect the toymakers didn’t have a Republican in mind.

Kamala Harris’s candidacy means that the prospect of the first woman president of the United States is plausible again this election season. But a critical question is: What do we want in the first woman president? It’s a question that matters to EMILYs List. For the organization, Harris fits the bill. She recently became the first president or vice president to visit an abortion clinic. Major box check.
