Ed. I'm going to include other women in political life as well.
Half of the sixteen ministers are women...Just click to enlarge.

By the way, I find the hand-wringing in the Anglo press about all the "sexist" negative comments in the Italian press about their clothing choices for their appearance at the Quirinale to be rather hypocritical, or they have very short memories. Does no one remember the endless discussions about Hillary's hair and pants suits and her weight? Or Thatcher's hair and clothes? PLEASE! It's the way it is when you're in the public eye. Men avoid the worst of it because they wear a uniform. And in a fashion and appearance obsessed country like Italy it's going to be worse. For the record, the criticism was spot on for Guidi, as she needs to ditch the too young and too blonde Heidi/Maria from the Sound of Music hair and highlights and get her eyebrows redone. They were right about Lanzetta too...I mean, what was she thinking when she put on those boots? As for palazzo pants, they were evening wear in the eighties, duh, and Boschi's get up I might wear to a PTA luncheon, but for this occasion? Please, and it is too bright. A couple of the jackets are too bright, especially for the season. A little elegance, please. I'm sure Armani would be happy to advise. As for Giannini's and Madia's sheer black stockings, that's getting a little picky even for me. They look quite elegant and appropriate for the occasion. Madia should also get honorable mention as she's heavily pregnant. Trust the troglodyte from the troglodyte Lega Nord to make an issue of it.
Marianna Madia...
Stefania Giannini
Federica Guidi
