Hidden Figures: of Women, by Women, for WomenAuthor: Amari Huang
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
Monday, 21 September, 2020
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. Below are some of the resources that we used to make the podcast and some books that you might be interested in reading~ "Sex and World Peace" by Valerie Hudson "The First Political Order How Sex Shapes Governance and National Security Worldwide" by Valerie Hudson, Donna Lee Bowen, and Lynne Nielsen "The Hillary Doctrine: Sex and American Foreign Policy" by Patricia Leidl and Valerie Hudson "Bare Branches by Valerie Hudson"
