Pearls, Politics, and Power:

How Women Can
Win and Lead

"A natural storyteller, Kunin combines her personal journey in politics with the stories of dozens of female politicians. Writing with wisdom, intelligence and warmth, she provides a guide for women at all levels who might seek to enter public life while at the same time shedding light on the challenges facing Hillary Clinton as she strives to become the first female president. The timing of this excellent book could not be better."
—Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer

"Here's the book we've been waiting for—an insider's view of the role of women in politics by one of America's most distinguished public servants. Governor, federal executive, ambassador, Madeleine Kunin has seen it all. And her keen eye and her deep understanding of the challenge of gender in wielding power has produced a wonderfully insightful book that should be read by every women, and man, who wants to lead."
—Robert B. Reich, Former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley

Kunin's new book: "Pearls, Politics, and Power", available in April, is a call to political engagement from the women of America.

The debate may be raucous, the process complex, and the rewards not assured, but we cannot stay out of it. Each woman's experience changes the nature and content of the conversation.

Politics, as Hillary Clinton said, is not for the faint of heart. But politics is where the decisions are made that determine whether our children will go to war, whether our parents will live in security, and whether Earth itself will continue as we know it.
