UnPresidented: Side-episode - Women's Pursuit of the Presidency


Listen Later

How ashamed should we all feel (especially men) that we are living in a time where a woman has still never been President of the United States? Women only represent approximately a quarter of both chambers of Congress, and as of three days ago, Ketanji Brown Jackson was just confirmed as the first black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. The nation credited for kickstarting the modern global order in promoting representational democracy hardly has led the way in achieving real, descriptive poltitical representation domestically.

There have been countless women, however, who have tried to change that, and this episode is dedicated to some of their efforts in our final episode of season two. We also dive into the barriers women face when running against male candidates, as well as the particular biases voters have against women who try to make a run for the presidency.
