Not that she's an unattractive woman or anything, but let's face it: She possesses a reverse of what most men would consider to be the ideal bust-to-butt ratio, if decades of Playboy, Maxim and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue are any guide.
Nor does the fact that she is a career woman with what would appear to be a serious set of relationship issues – it's a tossup between her and Ms.
It requires far more genuine strength and independence for a young American woman to become a lady today than it does for her to devolve into a faux male – those who manage the feat are princesses for whom a man might well wish to slay a dragon or three.

Created in 1890 by the merger of the rival women's rights organizations--the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association--after 21 years of independent operation, the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was initially headed by past executives of the two merged groups, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, and Susan B. Anthony.
After a split led by Alice Paul and her formation of the National Woman's Party, NAWSA adopted the "Winning Plan" in an attempt to tap the energy and enthusiasm of the organization for a final push towards a federal amendment.
Led by Carrie Chapman Catt, the organization coupled its drive for full woman suffrage with support of World War I and convinced President Woodrow Wilson to throw his support behind what was to become the Nineteenth Amendment.

The National Woman Suffrage Association (nwsa) was founded in May 1869 by Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and other women exasperated at the collapse of an Equal Rights Association convention they attended in New York City.
