Well, I think that, I think that every sort of little thing—or maybe not so little thing—but that the women in Congress dared to speak about, whether it was, 

2
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.700
you know, not having gym access in the 1960s, or

3
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:30.500
insisting that Anita Hill be heard in 1991, 

4
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:42.150
to insisting that certain kinds of women's issues, at least, get a full hearing. I think all of those things 

5
00:00:42.150 --> 00:00:54.200
have been part of the story of women in Congress, and part of my mother's story of being a woman in Congress. I think that, 

6
00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:08.000
I think that what she took from her service was kind of a constant reminder to herself of the importance that women serve, 

7
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:17.470
and—because one woman can't accomplish what 218 women could, right?  And so, 

8
00:01:17.470 --> 00:01:26.000
her goal of at least parity for women, for the whole, full range of women’s voices, I think 

9
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:34.900
is something that she would have hoped to see, but hope that the legacy of being the first woman of color, and 

10
00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:44.000
being a woman who was willing to talk about women, you know, that that would be part of what she would leave to the future.
