[dc-zaps] Is America Ready for a Woman President?

Please join us on Feb. 24 for a speech by NOW President Kim Gandy:

"Is America Ready for a Woman President?" 
Pathways and Roadblocks for Women Seeking High Political Offices in the United States

WHO: NOW President Kim Gandy

WHAT: Keynote speech, "Is America Ready for a Woman President?" co-sponsored by Women's Law Association & Washington College of Law Speakers Bureau 

WHERE: American University Washington College of Law, 4801 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 603, Washington D.C.

WHEN: Tuesday, February 24, 12 noon - 1 p.m. 

Kim Gandy, president of NOW and a graduate of Loyola University School of Law, will discuss women's ability to access high political office. Why has there never been a woman president? Why are there so few women members of Congress? Why are there so few women on the Cabinet?  And, how would a woman in the White House affect many women's issues including reproductive rights, pay equity, violence against women, LGBT rights, and welfare legislation?  Ms. Gandy will also be discussing NOW's support for Carol Moseley Braun, the only woman on the Democratic primary ticket this year.
