A Mother Born on the Day Women Won the Vote
Hillary Clinton's mother was born the exact day Congress granted women the right to vote. Not her grandmother-her mother. Let that sink in for a moment. Women's political power in America is so recent, it fits within a single lifetime. This stunning fact opens Jennifer Palmieri's "Dear Madam President," written in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential campaign where she served as Communications Director. Palmieri thought electing the first woman president would be easier than electing the first Black president. She was catastrophically wrong. What emerged from that loss wasn't just campaign analysis but something far more profound: a letter to the future, a manifesto for the woman who will eventually shatter America's highest glass ceiling. The book asks a revolutionary question-what if women stopped trying to fit into leadership molds designed by men and instead created leadership in our own image?
