This November, we'll bear witness to the end of what is possibly the most contentious presidential election in US history. The American public is polarized and vocal, and important world issues, including immigration, race relations, and national security, have (appropriately) become regular conversation topics at the office, on social media, and at our dinner tables.

Marianne Schnall, author of What Will It Take to Make a Woman President?

 

Inspired by a question from her eight-year-old daughter following the election of Barack Obama, What Will It Take to Make a Woman President? looks at the topic from numerous perspectives and highlights anecdotal insights from a variety of influential women, including Nancy Pelosi, Maya Angelou, and Melissa Ethridge. More generally, the author speaks to a generation of young women about empowering themselves to become agents of change, to tear down social and cultural paradigms, and to believe that a woman can be President.
