Since our mission was to interview everyday extraordinary women our first stop in D.C. was the Woman's National Democratic Club. We were invited to participate in their inaugural events. The association is housed in a beautiful historic mansion. The president and vice president couldn't have been more gracious. They told us our home is your home while you are in D.C. They were the first democratic club for women founded shortly after women were granted the right to vote. In fact, they state "from the right to vote...the power to lead" on their website.
The women we met at the pre-inaugural cocktail party are definitely leading the way towards renewing America and supporting women's rights. We interviewed a journalist for the U.N., an author from Pakistan, FDR's great granddaughter, teachers and many other incredible women. The evening was the perfect kick-off to an incredible two days.
