So I have been thinking about women in debate recently. While historically, the success of women in debate, relative to their male counterparts has been lopsided, at best, things have changed. Out of the posh and tony western suburbs of Edina, Minnesota has risen a team so successful at debate, that their success has undermined not only the gender imbalance of debate, but the patriarchy itself. The team of Edina SS, also know as Mimi and Erin has completely ended the male domination of speaker awards and success at the local, regional and national levels.
