American Women and the Ongoing Battle to Save Democracy | Jennifer Rubin || Radcliffe Institute

Jennifer Rubin, the author of Resistance: How Women Saved Democracy from Donald Trump (William Morrow, 2021) and a Washington Post opinion writer, explains the persistent threat to American democracy and the central role women from across the political spectrum played in opposing and ultimately defeating Trump. She discusses how American women redefined US politics and, looking ahead, examines women’s importance to defending the rule of law and multiracial democracy.
