On trip to France, Kamala Harris is introducing herself to the world in personal terms
PARIS — When Vice President Kamala Harris toured an American military cemetery outside Paris this week, she stopped at the grave of a woman from Oakland, California, who had served as a switchboard operator during World War I.
Harris’ guide said such women, known as “Hello Girls,” were adept at working phone lines. His comment prompted a quick clarification from Harris.
“It was one of the few jobs women could have,” said the first female vice president in U.S. history. “Because they could have also been surgeons.”
