    For me this journey began in 1992, the first Year of the Woman. 2018 “wasn’t just another Year of the Woman, a sequel to the 1992 blockbuster: It was the Year of the Woman of Color.”

    When the 116th Congress convenes this week, women will make up nearly a quarter of its voting membership – the highest percentage in U.S. history, and a considerable increase from where things stood not too long ago.
