Madam President: The Extraordinary, True (and Evolving) Story of Women in Politics
Danny Says
Girls always ask me why there has never been a female President, and I have to admit that it is long overdue (especially with 52 percent of the American population being female). Thimmesh puts together a nice retrospective of some of the women who have ascended to the highest offices (or, like in the case of Abigail Adams, influenced the highest offices), and she includes some women who are still climbing that ladder today. What I like about the book is it shows girls that their time is coming, and there are plenty of influential women who have contributed to our political history here and abroad.
