Guests:

Mary Hughes, founder of the 2012 Project, a national, non-partisan campaign to increase the number of women in legislative office; and president of Staton-Hughes, a strategic communications and political consulting firm in San Francisco

Sue Lynch, president of the National Federation of Republican Women

Rebecca Traister, journalist and author of "Big Girls Don't Cry: The Election That Changed Everything for American Women"
