MADELEINE M. KUNIN discusses Pearls, Politics, and Power: How Women Can Win and Lead
Harvard Hillel is honored to host former Vermont governor and ambassador to Switzerland MADELEINE M. KUNIN as she explores women’s role in government and contemporary leadership. Pearls, Politics, and Power is a call to action for new political engagement and leadership from the women of America. Informed by conversations with elected women leaders from all levels, former three-term Vermont governor and ambassador to Switzerland Madeleine M. Kunin’s core message is that America needs an infusion of new leadership to better address the major problems of our time. To see how women can achieve that goal, she combines her personal experience in politics; the lessons of past women’s movements; the stories of young women today who have new ideas about their role in society; and interviews with a wide range of women in positions of power, including Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, U.S. Representatives Loretta Sanchez, Linda Sanchez, Deborah Pryce, and Tammy Baldwin. "Here's the book we've been waiting for—an insider's view of the role of women in politics by one of America's most distinguished public servants. Governor, federal executive, ambassador, Madeleine Kunin has seen it all. And her keen eye and her deep understanding of the challenge of gender in wielding power has produced a wonderfully insightful book that should be read by every women, and man, who wants to lead." —Robert B. Reich, former U.S. Secretary of Labor
