Women in the war room and board room

Baroness Mary Goudie is on a mission.

In 1971, she became the youngest woman in England elected to her local council in England. Now, a member of the British House of Lords, she is trying to better the world, by ensuring that more women are in the board room - and the war room.

“We would get a better society” if more women were employed around the world, Baroness Goudie told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Thursday.
