We are rightfully, if not unsurprisingly, starting this list with the one and only, history-making Kamala Devi Harris. While she is now holding the highest government position of any woman in the country and in fact, any woman in American history, she has actually been serving in public office long before she arrived in the White House. The Vice President, who is of African American and Asian descent, was the former senator representing California and was the state’s attorney general prior to her senate seat. Like all women, Vice President Harris wears many hats. Kamala to the general public is known as Mamala to her two stepchildren through her marriage with our country’s first First Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

As Vice President Harris repeatedly proclaims, “I may be the first, but won’t be the last.” Not only will it be exciting to see what she achieves in Washington over the next four years, but it will also be wonderful to see all the little girls, the black girls and girls of color that she empowers and inspires along the way.
