Leslie Sanchez is taking the assumptions and myths about women in politics and turning them on their heads.   YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, MAYBE   (Palgrave Macmillan; October 2009) tackles hard-hitting questions like: Can women handle the stress and confrontation of life in the political limelight?  Why are women judged in terms of factors like fashion and approachability?  How did the media manage to boil down three complex women into the ditz, the bitch, and the darling of Election '08?  D.C.-based Leslie Sanchez lives in the hotbed of high level politics, and can answer these questions with unparalleled authority, experience, sass, and candor.

Sanchez begs us to do the same for Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton-eschew the old stereotypes and think outside the box of yesterday's expectations of conventional womanhood.  Like the women in it, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, MAYBE's impact is sure to resonate for years to come.
