Gail Collins on women and history

New York Times columnist Gail Collins profiles women who lived through perhaps the most transformative time in history, from the 1960s until the present. This is when more women achieved success in politics, sports and the working world than ever before. Collins talked with Kerri Miller before an audience at MPR's UBS Forum on October 15.
