Meanwhile, media women like Katie Couric and Rachel Maddow altered the course of the election, and comedians like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler helped make feminism funny. As Traister sees it, the 2008 election was good for women. The campaign for the presidency reopened some of the most fraught American conversations about gender, race and generational difference, about sexism on the left and feminism on the right, all difficult discussions that had been left unfinished but that are crucial to further perfecting our union. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Election $y 2008. 650 0 $a Women $x Political activity $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminism $x Political aspects $z United States. 600 10 $a Clinton, Hillary Rodham. 600 10 $a Palin, Sarah, $d 1964- 600 10 $a Obama, Michelle, $d 1964- 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204072541.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110054501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4BEE91B2B0BE11E3B16AFBCADAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
