Women's History Month: Alum Andrea Gagliano Reimagines US Presidents as Female

Alum Andrea Gagliano is celebrating Women's History Month in her own unique way: by utilizing machine learning to generate female versions of our past 44 presidents.

The project is fashioned in the likeness of a Wikipedia page. It is nearly identical to the actual "List of presidents of the United States," except Gagliano has taken the liberty of changing the pronouns and names associated with our previous chief executives. Additionally, the photos of each president are decidedly more feminine.

From the page:

Since the office was established in 1789, 44 women have served as president.

The first, Georgina Washington, won a unanimous vote of the Electoral College. Grova Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms in office (the only president to have done so) and is therefore counted as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States; the 45th and current president is Dona Trump (since January 20, 2017).
