A great resource for women politicians.... August 15, 2008
This is a must for every woman in office or planning to run for office. I have given it to several state legislators who have been complimentary to the editors and grateful that they have the book as a resource reminding them of issues that are important to women voters.

Look inside and feel what is real.
Political responsibility requires a response of action...not rhetoric. Running for office? Your challenge and responsibility......Keep hope alive!
 Beyond Sound Bites (but short!) August 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Women from every state asked to pick one word and take one page to say something for politicians to hear - what could be more intriguing in this age of pre-scripted, pre-digested (eww) sound bites? The preface itself is illuminating, with the sad story of an attempt to meet with a U.S. Senator, who was even ready and willing to meet - defeated by the deep-seated cultural assumption that once we've elected someone, we are relegated to listening to THEIR sound bites, or having our photos taken with them. This book allows "real people" to do the talking, at a deeper level than you ever see in politics, but briefly enough that those who have ears can digest in a short time. Yes yes yes, we are all so busy busy busy. But taking time to listen will do us all good. In the Company of Women: Voices from the Women's Movement
A very timely and provocative read August 7, 2008

What a great idea this book is. Women all over the country have thoughtfully chosen words and the images that go along with them that correspond to the values of the feminine. In these times of change, as we rebalance our priorities as a culture, this book is a must read for policy makers and politicians.
Barack Should Read This! July 29, 2008

Anyone interested in being elected in this next election should read this book. Women voters will ultimately be the deciders in this election and this book exposes clearly what women want from politicians. Contributors from Georgia to Hawaii, from Alaska to Florida and from all the regions of the country give voice to startlingly similar themes. A must read!
