Alex ，

I have read many a book on a woman’s place in politics and in society and often times I’m bored with regurgitated thought after regurgitated thought。 Vitali brings a new lens with wit， authenticity， and heart。 This book enrages you and gives you hope at the same time。 Not a lot of writers can evoke both those emotions in one piece of work with such mastery。 This is a must read。

Ali Vitali （you’ve seen her reporting on NBC and MSNBC） draws on her experience covering the 2020 Democratic primary elections to write this examination of a crucial question: why the US hasn’t elected a woman to the highest office in the land。 As she and the reader learn， there is no easy answer， and complexities abound。 In a diverse primary field that included six women， Vitali describes the sequence of promising campaigns that eventually folded。 While we all know the outcome， seeing the event Ali Vitali （you’ve seen her reporting on NBC and MSNBC） draws on her experience covering the 2020 Democratic primary elections to write this examination of a crucial question: why the US hasn’t elected a woman to the highest office in the land。 As she and the reader learn， there is no easy answer， and complexities abound。 In a diverse primary field that included six women， Vitali describes the sequence of promising campaigns that eventually folded。 While we all know the outcome， seeing the events from the perspective of someone on the scene is instructive。 We see women walking a fine line， needing to be emphatic but not wanting to be seen as bitchy， always looking for the happy medium， aware that they are held to a different standard than their male counterparts。 The author suggests changes that she hopes to see in the coming years that will change the process and break that last glass ceiling。 Thanks to #NetGalley for the arc！ 。。。more
