On the Issues with Mike Gousha: Women, Politics and the Glass Ceiling

Description

In the last two years, we've been a witness to history in America. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin became the Republican Party nominee for vice president, the first woman to run on a GOP presidential ticket. New York Senator Hillary Clinton became the first woman to mount a serious bid for the presidency. California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House. On the surface, it would seem that women are carrying more clout in the world of politics today than ever before. But is that really true? What challenges do women face in the political arena and what progress has been made in Wisconsin? Join Congresswoman Gwen Moore, former Senate Majority Leader Mary Panzer, Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, State Representative Sue Jeskewitz, and distinguished fellow in law and public policy Mike Gousha for a panel discussion.
