Women Leading Change

This week, we’re sharing another program held back in March before the National Constitution Center went remote. This program is part of our yearlong celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It features New York Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Hochul and former Congresswomen Melissa A. Hart and Donna F. Edwards. They explore the unfinished work of women’s suffrage and how the fight for constitutional change shaped women’s involvement in public life. They also discuss why females make up less than a quarter of Congress and what needs to be done to improve women’s representation in government. The conversation is moderated by Lauren Leader, co-founder and CEO of All in Together, a non-profit organization that seeks to empower women to participate in civic and political life.
