As two women majoring in International Relations, we have realized that many international affairs are often framed, written, and discussed through the perspective of men. We want to devote a podcast to the significant, and often overlooked, role that women play in shaping, changing, and participating in these contemporary global issues. From political representation to economic development, our podcast seeks to explore the unique challenges women face and the different perspectives they have.

Women and National Security

For this episode of Hidden Figures: of Women, by Women, for Women", we interviewed Valerie Hudson, a foreign policy expert and professor.

This episode was inspired by a speech given by Hillary Clinton in 2010 where she talks about how securing women's rights and empowering women should be considered an issue of national security. Since then, it has been generally acknowledged that there is a significant correlation between nations that fail to protect the physical security and rights of women and the nations most at risk for conflict and perpetuating crimes against humanity. This view now known as the Hillary Doctrine has been influential in shaping American foreign policy. As such, we want to talk about why empowering women worldwide should be a cornerstone of the US national security agenda.
