On International Women's Day and in a month that celebrates women's contributions throughout history, you need only look toward Capitol Hill as evidence of the strides women have taken in national politics and the gender disparity that remains. This year's 118th Congress boasts the highest proportion of female members (28%) ever and represents a significant increase over their numbers just a decade ago. Still, the proportion of women in Congress falls well short of women's share of the U.S. population, which is 50.5%, according to the Census Bureau. Swipe to see the progress women have made in government as well as a look at this year's Congress. #congress #internationalwomensday #womenshistorymonth
