Recorded at Iowa State University on April 24, 2008.
Summary:
Kunin, former governor of Vermont and U.S. ambassador to Switzerland, offers a clarion call to women, noting that they "have been bystanders to history for too long." She describes women not as a political monolith but certainly as citizens and voters who make a priority of children, family, education, health care, and the environment, among other issues. She argues that whatever their political ideology, women tend to be more collaborative and inclusive than men. Women typically contribute to the community by volunteering, and Kunin urges expansion to politics through elected or appointed office. Kunin recalls her own evolution from bystander to multiple office holder and discusses interviews with other women in politics, from local to national, for their perspective on how and why they got involved in politics.
