Harriett Woods insists that it will take more than a woman
president to assure that women have effective political power in
the next millennium. "Stepping Up to Power" looks backward in order
to move women forward; Woods believes that getting more women to
enter the political arena will take both their commitment and a
knowledge of the past. The author uses her own life story to recall
how women excluded from public life were fired by their
determination to solve local problems and by their passion for
social issues. Decade by decade, from the 1950s to the present,
Woods candidly discusses the positive and negative aspects of
pivotal events leading to a triumphant moment when women believe
they finally have broken through to real political power-only to
discover that new challenges remain.The author examines some of the
myths about women as voters and candidates; tells stories about
such colorful figures as Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan; provides
step-by-step advice on becoming a candidate; and describes from her
own personal experience such moments as the Clarence Thomas/Anita
Hill hearings, the 1992 "Year of the Woman," the appointments of
Janet Reno and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and her own breakthrough race
for the U.S. Senate in Missouri in 1982."Stepping Up to Power" will
fascinate general readers as well as students of women's history.
America has been transformed by a revolution that has changed the
personal and public relationships between men and women. The
question remains: How will women use the power they have gained?
"Stepping Up to Power" provides an inspiring answer.
