Senator Gillibrand On Raising Her Voice

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 9, 2014

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) talks about her memoir Off The Sidelines:Raise Your Voice, Change the World and her work in the "old boys club" atmosphere of the U.S. Senate. She says that modern feminism isn't just about "having it all" but "doing it all" -- and that women have a crucial role in the fall's mid-term elections. She also discusses her work against sexual abuse within the military; the case for action in Syria; and more news of the day.
