Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Saturday that 2018 could be "another Year of the Woman," predicting that female candidates could sweep elections across the country.
“I predict based on what I see out there that we are going to have another Year of the Woman,” Feinstein told party officials at the California Democratic Party Executive Board meeting, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“What it means is that we have an opportunity to really turn this next year into a year of change affecting women,” she added. Feinstein was first elected to the Senate in 1992, when a number of female candidates won bids for public offices.
Her comments on Saturday came as a growing number of prominent men in politics, business and beyond face allegations of sexual misconduct. Those allegations have reignited a nationwide conversation about sexual impropriety and gender discrimination in the workplace.

Besides, if she means that women will gain more rights and hold more government positions that would be great but I have heard and seen this my whole life and now I am older and wiser. One step forward and two steps back.
