Barbara Lee: Wonder Woman
Since the late 1990s,
Barbara Lee has wagered her fortune on building a world-class modern-art museum in Boston and trying to get a woman elected to the White House. Will this finally be her year?

Lee’s life’s work has been to bring a world-class contemporary-art museum to Boston and to elect a female president of the United States.
Now that the ICA is booming, and her old friend Hillary Clinton is poised to win the Democratic primary next year,
Lee is finally on the verge of making both of her dreams come true.

Lee’s foundation summarized its research in a
colorful handbook calledKeys to the Governor’s Office: The Guide for Women Running for Governor.
“We [made the book] bright yellow on purpose,” she says, and printed it “small enough to fit into a women’s handbag.”

“Do women have to be naked to get into the Met. Museum?”
That’s the question billboards screamed on New York City buses in 1989,
in the same eye-catching yellow Lee later used for her foundation’s political guide.
The activist art collective Guerrilla Girls created the signs as part of its continuing campaign,
which included picketing museums in gorilla masks to draw attention to the low number of female artists on display.

If Clinton’s ascendancy to the Oval Office comes to pass
—as the smart money in Washington is currently betting
— then Lee will have played a big part in that outcome, not just in her individual support of her candidate,
but for her strategic use of polling research and money to close the gap in gender inequality,
carrying the torch for female candidates for nearly 20 years.
“I hope [Clinton] will win,” says former Governor Granholm.
“And I believe Barbara Lee can have a great glass of chardonnay and toast her efforts in helping to make that happen.”
