The first time Madeleine M. Kunin ran for office it was because she
thought there ought to be more women in politics. In time she
fulfilled that belief by becoming the first woman governor of
Vermont. Throughout her career, Kunin found that the rules for
women politicians were different: she would not be forgiven (nor
would she forgive herself) for neglecting her family. She could not
afford to display emotion at the wrong times lest she be thought
"weak." And she would have to learn to play political hardball with
the best of them while keeping her integrity.
In Living a Political Life, Kunin-who is now Deputy Secretary of
the U.S. Department of Education-takes a frank look at the
challenges that confronted her as she tried not just to succeed in
politics but to set a precedent for other women. In doing so, she
illuminates both what it means to be a woman and what it means to
be a public servant and gives us a memoir as thoughtful and
revealing as any to emerge from the corridors of power.
