Running takes courage, passion, and commitment, but it also takes books like this. June and Kate have created a wonderful resource for women as they think about taking the leap." <br><b>--Hillary Rodham Clinton</b> <p/> "Running for office is hard work. Too often, women--especially women of color--lack the resources and role models to help them figure out if, when, where, and how to run. <i>Represent</i> provides these women with a roadmap to leadership. It's an essential addition to our arsenal in the fight to give more women and other underrepresented communities a seat at the table (ideally at the head of the table!). If politics is the art of the possible, then it's time to redefine what's possible. <i>Represent</i> gets us one step closer." <br> --<b>Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA)</b> <p/> "Approachable and practical...
