The influence of women has redefined the nature of politics, but how did they get there and what are the stories of their political journeys? Join moderator Eleanor Clift, weekly panelist on The McLaughlin Group and author of Madam President, as she moderates a panel of women who have come from a variety of backgrounds, represent different levels of political activity, and have played leadership roles in politics. Panelists include Mazie Hirono, U.S. Congresswoman from Hawaii; Grace Napolitano, U.S. Congresswoman from California; Madeleine Kunin, former Governor of Vermont and author of Pearls, Politics, and Power; Jennette Bradley, former Lieutenant Governor of Ohio, and Marsha Blackburn, U.S. Congresswoman from Tennessee. Presented in partnership with the Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts Boston’s McCormack Graduate School.
