In honor of Women’s History Month, I’m offering a free copy of my book, Politics, Partnerships, & Power: The Lives of Ralph E. and Marguerite Stitt Church.
This book, co-written with Jay Pridmore, tells the story of hidden figure Marguerite Stitt Church, a remarkable woman from my hometown of Evanston, Illinois, who became one of the first 50 women in Congress.
Marguerite Stitt Church was a Republican. I am a Democrat. And yet, I was able to write about her objectively—highlighting both her triumphs and her (literal) stumbles—because I saw her not as "the opposition," but as a fellow human being navigating leadership, politics, and public service.
Women’s contributions to history are often overlooked. Please join me in celebrating this trailblazer’s legacy by reading and sharing your thoughts. I’d love to hear your honest review.
