Three women shake up US politics

In its issue of February 24, Al Diyar newspaper talked about women in the current US Congress, spotlighting three recently elected members who shook up US politics. These women, the newspaper wrote, are women of color and have won the Democratic Party seats in the past November elections. Though they are only few months in their position, the upheaval they brought challenged the traditional orthodox norms of the US Establishment, on the level of internal and foreign affairs. The three women are: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, of Puerto Rican origin, became the youngest woman to serve in the Congress, worked as a waitress in New York City; Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, 38, Somali origin, first to wear hijab in the Congress, arrived to the US as a refugee in 1995; and Rashida Tleib, 42, Michigan State, an American-Palestinian attorney. To recall, Omar and Tleib are the first Muslim women US Congress members. Al Diyar in conclusion said, that the three women above are staunch advocates of LGBT rights, the right of women to abortion and the rights of immigrants in line: with the progressive policy of the Democrats.
