In 2001, when Madeleine Albright was leaving office as America’s first female secretary of state, interviewers asked her how she wished to be remembered. “I don’t want to be remembered,” she answered. “I am still here and have much more I intend to do. As difficult as it might seem, I want every stage of my life to be more exciting than the last.”

This is exactly what a good politician does, and is necessary for good government at any level from local to national. Recognizing that, this book asks women to look at themselves, maybe for the first time, through the leadership lens. Rodriguez and Richards are confident that when...

I love watching Fox News, NCIS, Rush Limbaugh, and cops. I receive lots of junk mail. I picked this title because we need a good woman for president, not Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren.

Corelli accepted gender roles as natural and immutable, which inevitably influenced her view on female suffrage. She claimed that nature insists on contrasts, and therefore the suffragette betrayed feminine culture and showed herself in allegiance with men rather than as committed...

But the British Columbia political arena is lively, and it has often led the way in electing women to parliaments-as respected spokespeople for the public and as equal people.
