Abstract: "Leslie Sanchez Sanchez - strategist, writer, and political seer - has spent much of her time as a political analyst examining, investigating, and deciphering the historic moment for women and politics that was the 2008 presidential election. And what she sees in the future is a landscape changed drastically for women the world over. Here, she debunks the cultural and political myths surrounding women, and looks at the wide range of reactions Palin, Obama, and Clinton provoked, from small-town America to the world at large."--Jacket.
