Madam President

Catherine Thimmesh

Catherine Thimmesh's inspiring look at the role of women in American politics--past, present, and future--is now available with updated sections on Hillary Rodham Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, and Nancy Pelosi. From the time our government was being formed, women have fought their way from behind the scenes to the center of power and decision making. So, why not a woman in the White House? Two thousand eight may be the year!

Praise for this book

Thimmesh treats subjects from every point on the political spectrum with enthusiasm and respect...an excellent primer in international women's political history.
A lively introduction to women's political achievements.
A good choice in this election year, Madam President is an entertaining and informative choice.
A sassily organized and argued rallying cry for girls-soon-to-be-women to stake a claim for Executive Office.
