In the past few months, the hashtag #metoo has gained a worldwide following as survivors of sexual harassment have come forward to share how some of the most powerful men in the worlds of politics, media, and Hollywood have abused their power. Statistically, one in two women will experience work place sexual harassment at some point in their lives.

In 2016, the first female major party candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, lost to Donald Trump. Since that time, we have seen a resurgence of feminist movement-building, starting with the Women's March in January 2017 and continuing with the historic numbers of women elected to Virginia's legislative body in November 2017, an election considered by many to be one of the first referendums on Trump's presidency.

Women comprise less than 20 percent of the current Congress. While that's the highest proportion yet, it still means in a nation that's majority female, less than 1 in 5 of our Congressional representatives are women. Nations around the world have bypassed the US on this measure. Currently, the US ranks 97th in the world in terms of women's representation in government.
