When a major political party nominated the first woman for the American presidency, was the proverbial glass ceiling broken or just cracked? A conversation featuring a cross-generational, bipartisan group of former Congresswomen will lend their voices to discuss their paths to public service, the challenges they faced, what they hoped to achieve, and most importantly what obstacles they still need to overcome. Presented in partnership with the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress. Presented in conjunction with the Featured Document which commemorates the 100th anniversary of Janet Rankin becoming the 1st Congresswoman, on display in the East Rotunda Gallery through March 29, 2017.
