Women and the Political Glass Ceiling

Listen Thursday, Jun. 12, 2008 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics, Society

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has more people than ever talking about the role of women in politics. But lost in that discussion is the fact that most women still don't see themselves as potential political candidates, and are still reluctant to pursue political offices. We explore new research on the intersection of gender and politics and why the United States doesn't elect as many women to office as other countries.
