Thomas was narrowly confirmed by the [[United States Senate]], but Hill's testimony, and the testimony of other harassed women, begins a national debate on the issue. *Record numbers of women are elected to high office in the United States in 1992, the "[[Year of the Woman]]". *[[Violence against women]] takes centre stage as an essential issue internationally. The [[Violence Against Women Act]] was passed in the United States, which greatly affected the world community through the United Nations. The law's author, [[Joe Biden]], UN Ambassador and Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]], and [[Hillary Clinton]] (see below) have become vocal advocates of action against violence against women.[[File:3evague.jpg|thumb|200px|Women's rights demonstration in Paris, November 1995]] *Women reach great heights of power in the United States government.

In Turkey, [[Tansu รiller]] became the first female prime minister in 1993. *In popular culture, British pop group the [[Spice Girls]] also played a part in the feminist movement, boosting popularity with their slogan "[[Girl Power]]!", while country music superstar [[Shania Twain]] declared female supremacy in her 1995 hit song "[[Any Man of Mine]]."
