Netflix Documentary on Women in Politics is Getting Attention. At the start of 2019, women made unprecedented advances into politics in the United States.  There was a 15% increase overnight in women in Congress than in 2018.  Yet, the percentage of the total is only up from 20.6% to 23.7%.

These questions and more covered in this week's episode.
