I hope this encourages more women to register and to vote. I was brought up by a single mother who was highly involved in politics and women's rights. Initially, it had the reverse effect on me. I wanted nothing to do with politics. I did however stay close to women's rights (being female) and kept an eye on politics throughout the years. Now, I am a bit more informed and though politics is not my thing, it is invaluable, I think, that everyone register to vote, read the bills that are out there (in Boston they explain the bills at the voting booths), and at least vote on those. In time, one may learn more about one's local leaders and world leaders and go from there. Baby steps are ok. The important thing is to register.
