Will Obama have the time for a gender agenda?

But how much time will Obama really have to focus on gender issues with so many other pressing issues? Will awareness of gender issues penetrate and integrate with mainstream policy? Christina Roma, one of the key architects of Obama's Economic Stimulus Package was very responsive to feminist concerns that the package might create millions of jobs but that these jobs might only be for "burly men in construction building bridges and roads" and this would have a consequence for women. Roma outlined the focus also on healthcare, education and the retail trade where women are disproportionately a large factor of the workforce so this suggests.
