10 Women Who Ace “Man Jobs”
Nancy Pelosi
In the midst of power, male egos and politically-driven antics, Democratic incumbent Nancy Pelosi is one of the few women in mainstream politics who has taken a stand for and against every bill that has passed through Congress. A supporter of No Child Left Behind Act and health care reform, she is instrumental in diverging tactics between both parties in the U.S. and abroad. Not only is she one of the toughest forces in Washington, she has the Republicans/Democrats scared straight of her dominant persona as the first and only woman Speaker of the House of Representatives.
