Women behind the Hill’s power honored for work

Most people don’t recognize their names, but 37 of the most powerful women in Washington united Thursday evening for an event in their honor as the Hill’s female chiefs of staffs.

Held at the the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, which serves as the headquarters of the National Woman’s Party, hundreds of women (and some men) fetted the accomplishments of these chiefs of staffs under a tent in the backyard of the historic home on the HIll.

“Women make decisions differently than men,” said Women’s Campaign Forum CEO Sam Bennett, sounding all Sonia Sotomayor-ish.
