Madeleine M.'s Books The New Feminist AgendaDefining the Next Revolution for Women, Work, and FamilyFeminists opened up thousands of doors in the 1960s and 1970s, but decades later, are U.S. women where they thought they'd be? The answer, it turns out, is a resounding no, and Madeleine M. Kunin says it's time for a change. Looking back over five decades of advocacy, she analyzes where progress stalled, looks at the successes of other countries, and charts the course for the next feminist revolution -- one that mobilizes women, and men, to call for the kind of government and workplace policies that can improve the lives of women and strengthen their families.  Pearls, Politics, and PowerHow Women Can Win and LeadPearls, Politics, and Power is a call to action for new political engagement and leadership from the women of America. Informed by conversations with elected women leaders from all levels, former three-term Vermont Governor and Ambassador to Switzerland Madeleine M. Kunin asks: 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? |
