November’s victory by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the presidential election made Harris — as Vice President — the highest-ranking female officeholder in the history of the U.S.
There are currently 24 women in the Senate and 118 in the House.
Those numbers have grown in recent years but pale in comparison to the representation found in many other nations — some of which have made strides because of concerted efforts in legislation or additional steps.
ASU Professors Magda Hinojosa and Miki Caul Kittilson looked into what other countries have done to get more women in elected office. Their book is called " Seeing Women, Strengthening Democracy: How Women in Politics Foster Connected Citizens."
The Show spoke with them for more about their findings.
