The first Madam President will be sworn in sooner than most people
think. But the gender gap in politics is still shockingly broad,
say two of America's most readable political commentators in this
"timely look at the nation's sputtering efforts to envision a woman
in America's top job."("The Boston Globe").
Charting the transformation of women's power in American politics
from the first female presidential candidate (Victoria Woodhull in
1872) to the shattered presidential hopes of Shirley Chisholm and
Elizabeth Dole, Madam President presents tales of passion,
determination, set-backs, and triumph from nearly all national
women politicians and most leading state politicians "in the
pipeline." With insight garnered from years on the Washington
political scene and candid interviews with leading politicians like
Christine Todd Whitman and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Clift and
Brazaitis explain why the barriers to women are still formidable:
There are only 3 female governors (one of the best routes to the
White House) and at the current rate it will take 250 years before
there are as many women Senators and Representatives as men.
A forward-looking, savvy analysis of women in politics, "Madam
President" gives the first inside look at how America's female
politicians got there, stayed there, and what it will take for them
to make it to the presidency.
From Simon & Schuster, War Without Bloodshed is Eleanor Clift
and Tom Brazaitis' exploration into the art of politics. In
engaging vignettes, Eleanor Clift and Tom Brazaitis showcase the
everyday activities, behind-the-scenes confrontations, and unlikely
alliances of the people who influence how laws are written and who
decide whether or not they will, in fact, become the laws of the
land.
