BONUS Women, politics and the presidency

“Presidential” host Lillian Cunningham talks with Sharon McMahon , the creator behind Instagram’s @SharonSaysSo , about women’s ongoing fight for more political power — examining the arc of progress since 1920, when women across the nation first voted for president. They guide listeners through women’s initial efforts to gain the right to vote and explore why the pace of further progress has been slower than expected over the past century. They also discuss the changes that are likely (and unlikely) to happen if Harris does become the first woman to win the White House. McMahon is the host of “ Here’s Where It Gets Interesting ” and author of “ The Small and the Mighty .” In addition to creating “Presidential,” Cunningham is the host of several other Washington Post podcasts, including “ Field Trip ” —which explores the past, present and future of America’s national parks.
