The battle for gender equity has been waged on every stage imaginable: from the soccer field and the corporate board room to the venerated halls of the Capitol building, and even its lavatories. For almost two centuries, female Congressional legislators had to fight for equal access to restrooms in their workplace!

 

On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2021, Susan Stamberg, Special Correspondent for National Public Radio, moderates a wide-ranging conversation about the successes, obstacles, and ongoing work happening to achieve gender parity.

 

Panelists include USA sports columnist and CNN commentator Christine Brennan, former Washington DC Mayor and the Founding Director of the Institute of Politics Policy and History, Sharon Pratt, and filmmaker and DC Statehood advocate, Aviva Kempner.

 

The program kicks off with a 3min work-in-progress preview of Kempner’s upcoming documentary Pissed Off, which details the crusade for potty parity on Capitol Hill.

 

Co-presented by The Ciesla Foundation, the Institute of Politics Policy and History, the National Women's Democratic Club, and Women in Film & Video (WIFV).
