Do Women Govern and Legislate Differently than Men?

L166

In the midst of the 2010 health care debate, Rep. Carol Shea Porter, D-N.H., recalled telling some of her congressional colleagues in the ladies room, “If we sent the men home we could get it done this week.” So what — if anything — makes women better at governing and/or legislating than men? 

Guest speakers include two female members of Congress, one from each party (via Skype). 

• Rep. Ann Wager, R-Mo
• TBA

Note: Rep. Katherine Clark will also speak on this topic and more at a Politics and Pizza event at 7pm.  Both events are in L166
