Today, she is serving her tenth term in congress. It is reported that she will run for an 11th term.

She was an active participant in her husband’s campaigns. “I made appointments for speaking, recruited speakers, answered newspaper attacks, contracted for the printing and distribution of circulars and sample ballots,” she recalled, “and more than all, kept a brave face to the foe and a smiling face to the almost exhausted candidate.” Her presence on the campaign trail—an unusual place to find a woman then—drew fire from William’s opponents. She would later recall, “I did not stop to think what a change this was for a young woman considered only an ornament and household mistress.” As William’s congressional secretary in “Washington City,” she managed her husband’s correspondence and speeches while writing columns for two local newspapers

Sally Schofield, a respected caseworker at Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, had taken Logan in 2000. By 2001, 5 year old Logan would be dead. “I just want Sally Schofield out of my life forever,” Logan’s mother says, 16 years later, “She’s ruined my children’s lives and mine. She took an innocent child from this world for no reason.” Logan’s death was a tragedy that highlighted the problems in Maine's child welfare systems. The mistakes that were made were unforgivable, but a lesson learned from DHHS.

Firstly, she uses an unemotional tone to promote her credibility as a woman politician. Instead of using flowery language and going into a fit of hysteria, which the audience expected from a woman speaker, she used concise vocabulary and kept a level head. She speaks “briefly and simply” to also show the urgency of this crisis facing the nation. In addition, she states, “I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny—Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.” This shows the audience that she wants a Republican victory, but without using tactics of the Democrats. Margaret Chase Smith remains poised, proving this is not a fit of hysteria, which gains credibility from the American public.

Becoming involved in politics was not the initial goal that Shirley was striving for. It was not until she was in college in which she first became interested in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Political League. She was impressed with a man named Hodder, who represented the Bedford- Stuyvesant Political League, and his speeches that supported the black community. He sparked her interest in politics and from then on Shirley was in and out of the political spotlight (Metcalf 118).

Helen Levitt was an incredibly influential street photographer starting in the late 1930’s and was active all the way until the 1990’s. She enjoyed much early success in her photography career photographing day-to-day happenings in the world around her, this set the stage for a long and very important career. Her photography can be described as objective because through her work she represented New York in a non bias way, photographing day to day happenings in her local life in Brooklyn, New York and the surrounding city such as children playing in the streets (Broken mirror), and adults going about their usual business gossiping, and simply their city life (Checkered Car). However, some may argue the point the Helen may have done an outstanding job at creating the illusion of objective work by photographing specific happenings around her world, and creating the illusion of a status quo. As seen in the photo Girl/Green Car all was not positive, uplifting, and graceful as many of her photos represent, the girl is seen

At the age of 20, while she is in college, we can see how her childhood environment had influenced her current state. She tells her friends she is above the genders and does not need human sexuality to give birth. This can be connected to her overprotective environment, particularly when sex and dating were concerned in high school. Her parents had high demands, so she decided to become a politician. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but her reasons included switching souls with a senior state senator which gave her access to his thoughts and memories. Her ambition does not stop at being a politician, she also wants to single-handedly save the world from nuclear destruction. This is a prefect example of visions of grandeur success that people often see in their episodes of mania. The reason can be traced back to the over-demanding environment she grew up in.

Maggie, Quentin’s second wife, a beautiful, sensuous woman who becomes a major recording star.

The political arena is a tough place to be part of, especially during a campaign. Your opponent and their supporters are constantly watching your every move with the hopes that you will make a mistake, or that somebody will find some detrimental dirt on you. Now imagine also being a woman, not only will you have to face the hardships that male candidates cope with but you will also have to handle the adversity based on your gender and the stereotypes that go along with being a female.
