Astounding Insights About Women Politicians

Maria Braden has written an outstanding and poignant book about women politicians and how the media treats them. At the time of its publication, I was recently retired from a state elected position in Arkansas. When I bought the book and began reading it, I realized that Braden was a woman of courage and candor. She identifies the classic cliches applied to women of all stripes and to women in the public eye in particular. My book is dog-eared, written all over, and well-used. Any woman who wants to know how women in politics survive, how they are treated in the press, and how they overcome the stigma of being female must read this book. It is highly suggested that all women who wish to enter the political arena read this first and be prepared. A terrific book by an outstanding journalist role model.THE SECRET HISTORY OF WEEDS: What Women Need to Know About Their HistoryMisogyny: The World's Oldest Prejudice
