美国参议院女性参议员人数创纪录

    第113届美国国会的女性参议员人数达到20位——创下参议院历史上的最高纪录。这些女性参议员在推动两党对话、帮助美国政府结束今年秋天的僵局等方面都发挥了重要作用。除了在任多届的成熟政治家外，许多政坛新星也获得了越来越多的关注。比如来自纽约的陆天娜和新罕布什尔的凯利•阿约特。

    A record number of women serve in the Senate

    The 113th Congress hosted 20 female Senators -- the most in Senate history. The women have been credited with leading bipartisan conversations, helping end the disastrous gridlock that plagued D.C. this fall. Beyond the practiced politicians who've been in office for several terms, some up-and-comers have continuously gained buzz -- keep your eyes on New York's Kirsten Gillibrand and New Hampshire's Kelly Ayotte.
