Certainly the G.O.P. has more nationally prominent women. Among the most well-known names: Transportation Secretary Elizabeth ("Liddy") Hanford Dole, 47; Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler, 52; Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, 54; and Anne Armstrong, 56, former Ambassador to Britain. The only other woman in the Senate besides Kassebaum is also a Republican, Florida's Paula Hawkins, 57. Although she has always been a registered Democrat, United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, 57, has become an honorary Republican with her highly visible, aggressively anti-Communist role in the Reagan Administration...

...does the G.O.P. seem to have so many certifiably solid prospects? An important reason is that the Republicans have controlled White House patronage for all but four years since 1968. Dole and Heckler, for example, owe much of their present prominence to Cabinet positions, and O'Connor would probably still be an Arizona Court of Appeals judge if not for the 1980 Republican victory. Even before feminism took hold, the G.O.P. had a large core of female party activists ready to step into high-profile posts. In part this was a function of demographics: Waspy, well-to-do women...

Contrast this to the Reagan Administration. For the first time in history, three women hod Cabinet-level posts simultaneously, all at the behest of Reagan--Jeanne Kirkpatrick at the U.N., Margaret Heckler at Health and Human Services, and Elizabeth Dole at the Department of Transportation. His lower-level appointments of women do not match up numerically with Jimmy Carter's at a similar point in Administration--95 to 113 for posts needing Senate confirmation, 10 to 18 for Federal judgeships--but he made history by appointing Sandra Day O'Vonnor to the Supreme Court. Also, comparison with Carter amounts...
