Washington women find their voice
Female staffers at the White House have developed a method of making sure they are not muscled out of the decision-making process by male colleagues. It's called 'amplification'. According to the Washington Post the term means that "when a woman made a key point, other women would repeat it, giving credit to its author. This forced the men in the room to recognise the contribution." Tim Franks talks to Juleanna Glover, a former press secretary for Vice President Dick Cheney, about working in Washington.
