Also back: the righteous anger of the women who made those binders happen, who've seen their work co-opted and taken for granted, then and now, and who fear that the whole notion of pushing women ahead in public life has run into a big, unbeautiful White House wall. Who can forget that presidential debate in 2012, when the GOP nominee Mitt Romney recalled boastfully that when he was preparing to take office as Massachusetts governor, "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women."
