This book is a call to action for new political leadership from the women of America. Elected women leaders--Governors, Senators, Congresswomen, state legislators and city officials--tell their stories to former three-term Vermont Governor and Ambassador Madeleine M. Kunin, who intersperses her candid observations. She asks: Why run? What difference do women make? What is the worst part of politics, and what is the best part? What inspired these women to run, and how did they prepare themselves for public life? How did they raise money, protect their family's privacy, deal with criticism and attack ads, and work with the good old boys?
Kunin interviews a diverse group of women; some are female profiles in courage. Kunin looks at women's leadership and the role of gender stereotyping for women Congresswomen, Governors, Corporate CEO"s and for President. She interviews Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, analyzes her campaign and asks the question: Is the country ready? She interviews a wide variety of women in elected office--U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, U.S. Rep. Deb Price, U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, U.S. Patty Murray, and U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, among other women leaders at various levels of elective office.
She writes about the women of the suffrage movement, the feminist movement and young women today who have new ideas about their role in society. Her message is: if we are to better address problems such as access to health care, family leave, education, global warming, and war and peace, America needs an infusion of new leadership. For women to imagine themselves in charge they have to hear the stories of the women who are. They have to see women like Nancy Pelosi, wielding the gavel, and see themselves reflected in the portraits in state houses, court houses, corporate and university board rooms, and the White House.
