During the 2018 midterms women ran in record numbers then won in record numbers, securing more than 100 seats in Congress and many hundreds more in state legislatures across the country. 

The gains led some to dub 2018 The Year of the Woman, but will the changes we saw really only be limited to that one year, or was 2018 just the beginning of a shift in American politics that will see more female candidates winning one year after another. 

On the edition of KCBS In Depth we try to get a better handle on the shifting politics of gender by taking a closer look at some of the winning female candidacies from 2018. 

Guest: Journalist and author Caitlin Moscatello. Her new book is “See Jane Win: The Inspiring Story of the Women Changing American Politics.”

Host: KCBS reporter Keith Menconi
