==Controversy==

 

In January 2007, Senator Boxer was the subject of controversy after criticizing U.S. [[Secretary of State]] [[Condoleezza Rice]] for not having children. "Who pays the price?" Boxer asked Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. "I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old and my grandchild is too young. You're not going to pay a personal price, as I understand it, with an immediate family." The [[New York Post]] and [[White House]] Press Secretary [[Tony Snow]] considered this an attack on Rice's status as a single, childless female and referred to Boxer's comments as "a great leap backward for [[feminism]]."
