Explains Jane McMichael, director of the National Women's Political Caucus: "In previous years, women were running for office-lower office-as a sort of hobby at age 56. Now more and more young professional women are making politics their career." Yet only a few, like Carla Anderson Hills, 41, the new Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, have been able to break into what is still a male bastion: appointive jobs in the Executive Branch...

South and Currier House Committees, Education for Action, the Radcliffe-Harvard Women's Center, the Freshman Council and Phillips Brooks House.
