Nancy Cohen - Breakthrough: The Making of America's First Woman President

Is the U.S. ready to elect a woman as president? In her fourth book, Cohen, a frequent writer and commentator on women’s political leadership, a member of the Los Angeles County Commission for Women, and author most recently of Delirium: The Politics of Sex in America, draws on some 125 interviews with elected officials and strategists of both parties to survey the history of women’s experience in politics, chart the changing political climate, and assess the current prospects of a female candidate for the country’s highest office.
