Episode 11: Ruth Mandel

from The Backgrounder

As Director of the Rutgers University Eagleton Institute of Politics, Dr. Ruth Mandel is known to many as a political pundit, a observant student of women in politics, and passionate scholar of English and American literature. But what may not be as well known about Dr. Mandel is the place she holds in history as a passenger on an ill-fated Voyage of the St. Louis. Dr. Mandel talks about her family finally making it to America, women in American politics, and Hillary Clinton's prospects for being elected the first woman President of the United States. This episode is sponsored by The GI Go Fund's Jeans For Troops Day, May 21st.
