You've Come a Long Way, Maybe

A Groundbreaking Look at Women's Evolving Role in Politics

In You've Come a Long Way, Maybe, Leslie Sanchez -- renowned strategist, writer and political seer -- examines the historic moment for women and politics that was the 2008 presidential election. As an analyst on CNN, Sanchez spent much of the campaign season investigating and deciphering the cultural and political myths surrounding women, and the wide range of reactions provoked by Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Sarah Palin.

From small towns to big city salons and Sunday talk shows, Sanchez pays special attention to those most active and examined during the election: the disappointed Hillary supporters, the rabid Sarah Palin fans, and everyone else wondering about the role of the new First Lady. She takes a hard look at what the election will mean for women now and in the future, and which leaders might emerge in 2012 and beyond. You've Come a Long Way, Maybe offers a groundbreaking view on how women's roles are changing drastically in politics, and what that means for expectations and opportunities for women around the world.
