| Description: |
Geraldine Ferraro remains the only woman to have been nominated by a major American party to run for vice-president. In this book she reflects on her campaign in 1984, on the career she has enjoyed in Congress, and on the influence over policy issues that can be exerted by women acting together. |
| Synopsis: |
An inside look at a prominent woman's campaign for the vice-presidency; In this memoir, Geraldine A. Ferraro reflects on her experience as the first and only woman nominated by a major party to run on the presidential ticket. This book reveals the process that led to her nomination as the 1984 Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate and gives a revealing behind-the-scenes look at campaign politics, especially the ruthless criticism directed at her and her family. Ferraro brings to life the dynamics of the women in Congress and how the different life experiences that they bring to the table affect the policy making process. She also gives a real understanding of the pioneering women, including Bella Abzug, Gloria Steinem, Millie Jeffrey and many others who worked together to make sure that a women was on the Democratic ticket in 1984. Ferraro's run for vice-president was an important moment in American history. The time is right for telling a new generation this story of women's collective political power and the difference women office holders can and do make to public policy. |
