    Leading Women

    Hillary Clinton might be running as the first female candidate with a shot at winning the White House, but she’s running in the tradition of women who have gone before. We discuss women leaders and global security with Canada’s former Prime Minister Kim Campbell and Liberia’s Foreign Minister Olubanke King-Akerele. Also, we take our weekly reading of presidential politics in South Carolina.

    Watch Brian's Online Video Picks and other WNYC videos.
