Kathryn interviews NY Times Reporter Jennifer Steinhauer, author of “The Firsts: The Inside Story of the Women Reshaping Congress.” In January 2019, the largest number of women ever elected to Congress was sworn in - 87 in the House and 23 in the Senate. Steinhauer has been following this historic transition from day one and uses her rare vantage point to take a behind-the-scenes look at these newcomer’s individual and collective attempts to usher in real change in Washington. Kathryn also interviews Washington Post columnist & Associate Professor of History, Miami University in Ohio Kimberly Hamlin PhD, author of “Free Thinker: Sex, Suffrage, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener.” It's the ideal time to shed light on Helen Hamilton Gardener, a suffragist for the #MeToo era, who paved the way for women like RBG, HRC and AOC, as well as raising questions about racial inequality. Professor Hamlin contributes to the “Made by History” series in the Washington Post.
