PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) -- This week on a very special edition of Flashpoint: Host and KYW Community Affairs reporter Cherri Gregg asks the burning questions about "Women Who Work" in front of a live studio audience at the KYW Newsradio Broadcast Center. According to the Pew Center, 256 women have qualified for the November ballot for the US House and Senate. In Pennsylvania, eight women are running for Congress, and for the first time ever two women will go head-to-head for the 5th Congressional district seat. In corporate America the pace is slow. In fact, women have seen a 25 percent loss in the number of Fortune 500 CEOs. So what are the politics of women taking elected office? What draws women into political races? Why are women lagging behind in corporate America? What can government and other organizations do to help level the playing field?
#FlashpointLIVE airs TONIGHT @ 9:30! We’re talking about the politics and policies impacting women with two expert panels. Trust us, the conversation gets -- under the collar!!! On @KYWNewsradio 1060AM https://t.co/qIbpHIYxzt pic.twitter.com/sLBsA6LmBT
