Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The United States Congress has long been considered an “old boys club” – and while the current Congress has a record number of female members, they still only make up about 20 percent of the lawmakers. Among the nearly 16,000 Congressional staffers, though, about half are women. We explore what it’s like to work as a woman on Capitol Hill and to what extent sexism still exists in the hallowed halls of Congress.
