New Episode—Meet the New Feminists in Congress (with Jennifer Steinhauer + Reps. Carolyn Bourdeaux, Teresa Leger Fernandez and Marie Newman)

This week, we introduce you to the new feminists in Congress—and discuss the significant challenges that lie ahead in 2021. Together, Dr. Goodwin and her guests examine the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and what this violence signifies for our nation moving forward. Why did it happen and what can we learn from it? Will the President be impeached? And what does this atmosphere mean for the new feminists in Congress?

Dr. Goodwin is joined by Representative Carolyn Bourdeaux, representing Georgia’s 7th Congressional District; Representative Teresa Leger Fernandez, representing New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District; Representative Marie Newman, representing Illinois’s 3rd Congressional District; and Jennifer Steinhauer, a New York Times journalist for more than 30 years and author of The Firsts: The Inside Story of the Women Reshaping Congress.
