Women are playing a pivotal role in this year's presidential election in many ways.

Hillary Clinton's looks and demeanor are under scrutiny, and women voters are splitting along generational lines in support of her candidacy.

Candidates' derogatory or inflammatory comments regarding women are being called into question in an attempt to sway primary voters in many states.

MPR News host Kerri Miller talks with Ann Bookman, director of the University of Massachusetts' Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy, and the Executive Director of Chatham University's Center for Women and Politics Dana Brown about the role of women in politics both as candidates and voters and it how it affects this November's outcome.
