Yo ho ho, a woman's on board! (well, almost)

It seems that the esteemed Belle Meade Country Club has bent to the forces of change, and it is now considering one woman for membership.  See http://www.tennessean.com/article/20120110/NEWS/301110071/Belle-Meade-Country-Club-considers-woman-full-membership.

Now, it just needs it voting-rights African-American, and it can sail off into the sunset.  (catch my sarcasm).

I suppose it's a start, but it seems like the Club should have at least named several women (and several minorities).  Mrs. Adelaide Davis Stevens is totally a token woman, and this step really only serves to cast doubt on the Club's stated intention to diversify.
