On Monday, May 2, the IOP welcomed Jay Newton-Small of Time Magazine and author of "BROAD INFLUENCE: How Women Are Changing the Way America Works." Newton-Small argues in her book that when women reach between 20 and 30 percent of any organization — be it the legislature, the military, or a corporate board, they fundamentally change how it operates. America is finally reaching that tipping point, led by the women of Washington. Newton-Small elaborated on this thesis, and explored what the implications of reaching this critical mass are for the future of American politics. She also discussed the impact of the women’s vote in the 2016 races.
