Rebecca Traister - Big Girls Don’t Cry
Start: Sep 20 2010 7:00 pm
End: Sep 20 2010 8:00 pm

Traister’s coverage of the 2008 election for Salon focused on the women involved, and her book recounts the roles not only of Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Michelle Obama, but of the women in the media, such as Katie Couric, and entertainers like Tina Fey. While the U.S. has yet to elect a woman president, Traister believes the 2008 campaigns revived unfinished discussions of gender as well as race.
