Description
EVERY DAY IS ELECTION DAY is a practical and inspirational guide for women at all stages of life, who want to achieve political leadership and be influential voices on public policy. It teaches women how to surmount public barriers, conquer private fears, and run winning campaigns—with joy, humor, confidence, and no apologies. In her no-nonsense, woman-to-woman style, Rebecca Sive offers advice and strategies for women’s daily lives as advocates, candidates, and powerbrokers. She provides tips for realizing the power of sisterhood; bankrolling oneself; creating an inimitable brand; making local victories national; overcoming negativity; and getting men to accept a take-charge personality.
Sive shares the true-life stories, secrets of success, and frank suggestions of women who have led, run, and won. These women include: US senators Mary Landrieu and Debbie Stabenow; Melanne Verveer, first US ambassador at-large for Global Women’s Issues; Cecile Richards, president, Planned Parenthood Federation of America; Frances Beinecke, president, Natural Resources Defense Council; Lisa Madigan, Illinois attorney general; Toni Preckwinkle, president, Cook County Board of Commissioners; Shelby Knox, feminist activist; The Hon. Aidan Myhre, Vice-president, school board, Helena, MT; The Hon. Caroline Casagrande, Assemblywoman, State of New Jersey; and Sharon Broome, State Senator and President Pro Tempore, Louisiana State Senate.Advance Praise
“Rebecca Sive brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and wisdom to the subject, and she has the credibility to give sound guidance to women who seek public office and an influential voice in the public square.” — Debbie Walsh, Director, Center for American Women and Politics, Eagleton Institute of Politics, Rutgers University
“Every Day is Election Day is a must-read for any woman considering putting herself, and her family, into the spotlight of the public arena. Rebecca Sive's insights and analysis about the power of political "sisterhood" across party lines is one that few have addressed, but it is a phenomenon that will be key to creating a successful political life for female candidates going forward.” —Joanne Bamberger, author of Mothers of Intention: How Women & Social Media are Revolutionizing Politics in America
