As of a year ago Trump lagged behind other administration in percent of women appointed.

[quote]Knight-Ridder News Services found in 1993 that [b]37 percent of the first 512 appointees in the Bill Clinton administration were women.[/b]
The Brookings Institution determined that [b]26 percent of George W. Bush’s first 264 nominations were women.[/b]
The New York Times found about [b]43 percent of Barack Obama’s appointments were women at the start of his second term.[/b] [b]Some departments, such as Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development had 50 percent or more female appointments under Obama.[/b]
[b]As for Trump,[/b] we have two measures, indicating a range of [b]22 percent to 27 percent for female appointments.[/b] But the trend line may be getting worse.

A Bloomberg analysis, using data obtained by ProPublica, found 27 percent of administration hires through March of 2017 were female.
The Washington Post appointment tracker, run with the Partnership for Public Service, shows that 22 percent of Trump’s Senate-confirmed nominees so far are women. The tracker was updated as of March 9, 2017.

Finally, let’s just look at Cabinet heads. For the Fact Checker, the Partnership for Public Service compiled data on the first appointments of Trump, Obama and George W. Bush.
[b]
Bush[/b] had three women in his Cabinet (Agriculture, Labor and Interior), plus one other woman with Cabinet rank. Total: [b]Four.[/b]
[b]Obama [/b]had four women in his Cabinet (State, Homeland Security, Labor, and Health and Human Services), plus four others with Cabinet rank. Total:[b] Eight[/b]
[b]Trump[/b] had two women in his Cabinet (Education and Transportation), plus two others with Cabinet rank. Total: [b]Four.[/b] [/quote][/quote]
