All this week we'll be joined by Marie Wilson, the author of Closing the Leadership Gap and President and Founder of the White House Project. Wilson will be here to offer thoughts on women in politics, and more broadly the obstacles to making our representative government actually representative of the diversity of the country.

Issues of gender and race have clearly been at the center of the current Presidential race, so we thought it would be an apt time to bring in an expert on gender and presidential politics. Wilson isn't here to advocate for either candidate, but hopefully she'll be able to help us better understand the historic and often challenging race we've been watching for the past year.
