Standing shoulder-to-shoulder in the atrium of Austin City Hall today, the seven women elected to the City Council last year said they were appalled to learn about a city-led training session for staffers on how to deal with a majority female council.

The training session, which took place March 27, featured two speakers from Florida who characterized women in stereotypical ways, such as suggesting they ask a lot of questions and aren’t interested in finances.

Council Member Leslie Pool, District 7, is featured in this clip. Video produced by Alyssa Vidales (instalyssa) and Efren Salinas (ellonestargamer)/American-Statesman.
