                              The Women's Issue

 Female candidates, led by Democratic women, won impressive victories in November's elections. We look in this
 issue at the views of women and men. Women are more Democratic than men, and they are a larger share of the
 electorate. They have different views on the election results and on President Trump's qualities. Later in this
 issue, we look at opinions on some prominent women.
