In his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback, Donald Trump wrote: “Some women try to portray themselves as being of the weaker sex, but don’t believe it for a minute.”

President Trump is still cautious about us women 20 years later – giving 80% of the top political nominations in his administration to men. But as this graphic shows, some departments are worse than others.
