Last night, women members of Congress took to the field for the annual Congressional Women’s Softball Game. Unlike in the men’s baseball game, the congresswomen compete on the same team, taking on women in news media (the “Bad News Babes”) for the trophy. That bipartisanship matters, and not just symbolically. Through training and taking the field together, congresswomen build cross-party, cross-region, and cross-generation relationships that affect their work. |
