Hillary Clinton’s nomination by the Democratic Party for President of the United States was an historic moment, no doubt, for a country whose government has long been seen as an old-boys’ club.

While she’s not the only one who has helped pave the way for women to hold positions of power in politics, and while there is still a long way to go before men and women are equally represented in U.S. government, it’s undeniable that women have made huge strides in advancing visibility in Washington.

In its most recent series, “Women in Power,” Washington Post reporters tackle the topic from several angles, including why the GOP lacks high-ranking female representatives and where women are among top political donors. Today on AirTalk, we’ll chat with two of the reporters who worked on the series.
