<div class="intro">
<p>Nearly 100 years after <a class="zem_slink" title="Universal suffrage" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_suffrage">universal suffrage</a>, U.S. women have yet to hold the highest office in the land. Currently, they make up 18 percent of governors, 16 percent of senators and 16 percent of representatives. What&#8217;s being done to change these statistics? Filmmakers Amy Sewell and Susan Toffler confront this question head on in their upbeat feminist documentary, <em>What&#8217;s Your Point, Honey?</em> Through candid and formal interviews with pre-teens, prominent women leaders and everyone in between, the directors have created a film about and for young women who dream of doing great things.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.advancingwomen.com">AdvancingWomen.com</a> is proud to support all young women&#8230;. and, in fact, all mature women as well,  who dream of doing great things.  We look forward to seeing one of them sworn in as President of the United States one day.</p>
<p>But as the film&#8217;s subtitle, &#8220;It&#8217;s not about one&#8230;&#8221; reminds us, it&#8217;s not just about getting one woman to the top position, but shifting the political climate so that, by the time these young girls are of eligible running age, it will &#8220;be so normal for women to run that we&#8217;ll never look back.&#8221;</p>
