Despite gains in the last half century, women remain significantly underrepresented in positions of power across government, business, law and academia. That’s according to Stanford Law School Professor Deborah Rhode, who reports that women constitute 19 percent of Congress, only 17 percent of law partners and a mere four percent of Fortune 500 CEOs. We speak with Rhode about her new book “Women and Leadership” and we’ll get her take on the future of feminism under a Trump White House and a Republican-controlled Congress.

Guests:

Deborah Rhode, professor of law and director of the Center on the Legal Profession, Stanford Law School; author, "Women and Leadership," "The Trouble With Lawyers" and "The Beauty Bias."<br />
