2016 will be one of the most historic years in politics: It
marks the potential for the first female President of the
United States, and the 100th anniversary of the first woman
elected to Congress. Additionally, in 2016, single women
will be one of the most pivotal voting groups heading into
the general election, being courted by both Democrats and
Republicans. At the centennial of the first woman elected to Congress
(which was three years before women legally earned the right
to vote), their presence and influence in Washington has
reached a tipping point that affects not only the inner
workings of the Federal Government, but also directly
influences how Americans live and work. Never before have women been represented in such great
numbers in the Supreme Court, both chambers of Congress, and
in the West Wing. In Broad Influence, Jay Newton-Small, one
of the nation's most deeply respected and sourced
journalists takes readers through the corridors of
Washington D.C., the offices and hallways of Capital Hill
and everywhere else conversations and deals are happening to
demonstrate how women are reaching across the aisles,
coalescing, and affecting lasting change. With deep, exclusive and behind-closed-doors reporting and
interviews, including conversations with Nancy Pelosi,
Barbara Mikulski, Kirsten Gillibrand, Valerie Jarrett, Sarah
Palin, Kelly Ayotte, Cathy McMorris Rogers and dozens of
other former and current senators, representatives, senior
White House staffers, governors and cabinet members, Broad
Influence is an insightful look at how women are
transforming government, politics, and the workforce, and
how they are using that power shift to effect change
throughout America.
