American women have turned out at higher rates than men in every U.S. presidential election dating back to 1984. That's according to a new analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew Research Center.

But what are the issues driving women to the polls this year? Will the gender gap, discrimination, Trump administration's policies on women's health and especially his continued sexist remarks on women affect the outcome? Have women in America had enough?

Professor Melissa Deckman, Professor Sherry Linkon and Professor Diane Negra join Liam in a wide-ranging conversation about women and American politics in this historic year.
