Sinopse
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Pick
From an award-winning journalist covering gender and politics comes an inside look at the female candidates fighting back and winning elections in the crucial 2018 midterms.
After November 8, 2016, first came the sadness; then came the rage, the activism, and the protests; and, finally, for thousands of women, the next step was to run for office - many of them for the first time. More women campaigned for local or national office in the 2018 election cycle than at any other time in US history, challenging accepted notions about who seeks power and who gets it.
Journalist Caitlin Moscatello reported on this wave of female candidates for New York magazine’s The Cut, Glamour, and Elle. And in See Jane Win, she further documents this pivotal time in women’s history. Closely following four candidates throughout the entire process, from the decision to run through Election Day, See Jane Win takes listeners inside their exciting, winning campaigns and the sometimes thrilling, sometimes brutal realities of running for office while female.
Meet the candidates:
Abigail Spanberger, a mom of three young girls and a former CIA operative, running for Congress in Virginia to unseat Freedom Caucus member Dave Brat.
Catalina Cruz, a Colombian-born attorney whose state assembly bid could make her the first Dreamer elected in New York and only the third in the country.
Anna Eskamani, an Iranian-American woman running for state office in Florida, with a campaign motivated by her mother’s healthcare struggles and the Pulse Nightclub shootings.
London Lamar, a Memphis native looking to become the youngest female representative in the Tennessee state house, running in one of the only Democratic and black-majority areas of a largely conservative state.
Beyond the 2018 victories, Moscatello speaks with researchers, strategists, and the leaders of organizations that helped women win. What she discovers is that the candidates who triumphed in 2018 emphasized authenticity and passion instead of conforming to the stereotype of what a candidate should look or sound like, a formula that will be more relevant than ever as we approach the 2020 presidential election.
Resumo da Crítica
"See Jane Win is a bracing antidote to that dreadful November election night in 2016 when women of the world watched as their champion, so close to shattering the highest glass ceiling, lost to a self-avowed assaulter...a book alive with insight and excitement about women who have overcome obstacles.... Moscatello captures highlights from the campaign trail and the fierce urgency of new candidates, and illuminates in vivid detail the moments that show the essence of these women’s guiding values.... The stories told here suggest that the rise of women in leadership in 2018 can last beyond 2020 to assert a vision of what all Americans need." (Washington Post)
"A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the campaigns of four female candidates who helped make history in the 2018 midterms." (People Magazine)
"Caitlin Moscatello began reporting on women running in the 2018 midterm elections soon after the women’s marches of 2017. See Jane Win is her celebration of their triumph.... Moscatello, a freelance journalist, captures the big trends of the midterms, most important among them that women won because they ran contrary to the old advice." (New York Times)
