First, women marched in St. Louis, Washington, D.C., and in thousands of other cities. The next year, they did it again because the dangerous consequences of the current White House administration’s policies were crystal clear.

And now a record number of women are running for political office — for Congress and for legislative seats here in Missouri.  It didn’t take long after the 2016 general election for many of us to get the message: “If you’re not at the table, you’re most likely on the menu.” Read more>>>

THE prediction that 2018 will become another “Year of the Woman” has become something of a cliché. Even before allegations of sexual assault imperilled Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, the record number of women running for congressional office heralded a boost to the number of female lawmakers not seen since 1992, the year after Anita Hill testified against Clarence Thomas.

The Hill

In late August on a long trip back to D.C., I found myself captivated by a podcast featuring Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) talking about her 1992 election to the United States Senate. That year is forever etched in the history books as the “Year of the Woman,” made famous by the record number of women elected to the Senate in the year following Anita Hill’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas.
