<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yes! We were packed in the room - about 30 of us.
Afterwards we heard from a couple of others who wanted to come
but were deterred by the weather. About 10 were familiar faces,
and the other 20 were people I have never seen before - lots of women, including
a city councillor and some from the Women's Studies department. The movie was
very good - perhaps we will borrow it and show it again, if we get leads as
to others that would like to see it. Fair Vote Waterloo may be planning a
"Women in Politics" event with a panel of women politicians as speakers - stay
tuned - and please do get in touch with any ideas. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Description: When it comes to politics, why are
so few women elected? And why do so few women actually run? Does it matter?
Can we change this situation? </DIV>Come to a showing of the film, Menocracy,
an up-to-date and entertaining exploration of the issue made by Canadian
filmmaker, Gretchen Kelbaugh. <BR>See the documentary trailer at: <A
class=ecxext title=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLWSzq2v74
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLWSzq2v74"
target=_blank>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLWSzq2v74</A><SPAN
class=ecxext></SPAN><BR>Pushed by the spirit of her great-aunt, Militant
Suffragette Gert Harding, Gretchen Kelbaugh searches for ways to elect more
women. Leading political scientists and Rt Hon Kim Campbell, the only woman to
be head of government in North America, offer many solutions.<BR><BR>This
documentary asks:<BR>1. What difference does it make having more women in
government?<BR>2. Why aren't there more women already?<BR>3. What can we do to
elect more women? <BR>In the end, Gretchen and the sassy spirit learn the
surprising truth: not only does our rotten democracy fail women; it fails
almost everyone. And the secret kept by top politicians: most other
democracies have fixed the problem long ago.
