Description

Women's approaches to problem-solving, leading, public policy positions, and relationships with people are different from men's. They have much to offer and present challenging opportunities to the political community of governance. This is a practical how-to book written for women who are involved in the process, either elected or appointed to office, who wish to stay in office, be re-elected or move onto higher office. A first in a new and important genre of literature.

The preface differentiates this political guide from more scholarly or theoretical ones; it states that Rajoppi's approach is "that of a friend sitting down with you...for some down-to-earth discussion." . . .women seeking introductory friendly, "women supporting women" inside-talk will be well served.-Booklist
