Rosalind Wiseman

In a few weeks, Rosalind will contribute to the exciting discussion about the role and treatment of women in modern American politics sparked by the release of DC-based author and political pundit Leslie Sanchez’s new book, You’ Come a Long Way, Maybe: Sarah, Michelle, Hillary, and the Shaping of the New American Woman! Rosalind will join author Sanchez, along with Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle and Chief Executive Officer of the National Council of La Raza Janet Murguia in a panel discussion and subsequent Q&A session hosted by the National Press Club at 6:30 pm on Monday, January 25th.

You’ve Come a Long Way, Maybe, released in October of 2009, takes a hard look at the women who headlined the 2008 election, how the media portrayed them, and how American women reacted to them. In the book, Sanchez, along with featured commentators like our very own Rosalind Wiseman, addresses analyzes the roles of Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Sarah Palin to discuss how far women have come since the feminism movements of the 1970′s, and to ask how far we still have to go. Visit Leslie Sanchez’s website to learn more about the author and her new book.

The discussion will be held at Holeman Lounge in Washington, D.C. and is open to the public free of charge! However, you must RSVP to the event by calling 202-662-7523 or e mailing opus@press.org.
