En savoir plus sur le livre

"Part topical memoir, part handbook for concerned citizens thinking about getting involved in the political process, but intimidated by practically everything in our modern American political process. Kathleen Teahan, a Massachusetts Democratic State Legislator for ten years, from 1997-2007, pulls back the curtain on some of the more puzzling, yet essential aspects of lawmaking, lobbying, and gaining an effective voice in governing. With stories and specific examples from her ten years as a state representative, Teahan offers steps women and other concerned citizens can take to gain confidence and inspiration to pursue political positions."--Amazon
