As a country, we haven't wrapped our heads around what it should look like for a woman to be in the job of President. Our only models are men. This, of course, was seen during Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and no one knows this better than Jennifer Palmieri. As she makes clear in DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT, Palmieri believes Clinton’s candidacy revealed how,
despite all the gains women have made, we still struggle to envision a woman as president. While wildly disappointed by the outcome of the election, Palmieri optimistically argues in the book that the Clinton candidacy and all she experienced
on the campaign trail—confusion, admiration, hate, love, acceptance, rejection—can now open the country up to reimagining women in leadership roles. That is what Palmieri takes on in this book--redefining expectations for women hoping to make a difference and challenging a man’s version of how a woman leader should act, talk, and dress.
DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT will turn the results of the 2016 election into something incredibly empowering for future female leaders and independent thinkers everywhere. Whether you are running for office, just starting after college, climbing the corporate ladder, or endeavoring to assert yourself in virtually any situation, DEAR MADAM PRESIDENT will inspire and embolden you to attain your goals on your own terms.
