Episode 29 - Didn't Get There, Maggie Hassan, and the Fabulous Five

This week Brooke and Kelsie talk about the importance of getting to present day in history class to cover some of the amazing firsts for women in politics and other fields. If teachers don't "get there" in the curriculum, it systematically leaves women out of the mainstream public sphere. Then Kelsie sat down with Senator Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire to talk about what it's like being a woman making history.
