Published September 30, 2008 - BizTimes Daily
Notable female politicians from Wisconsin will join Mike Gousha for a special event at Marquette University Law School entitled, "Women, Politics and the Glass Ceiling," to be held Monday, Oct. 13.
The event will begin at 5:30 p.m., in Sensenbrenner Hall, room 325, located at 1103 W. Wisconsin Ave. A brief reception will follow.
The past two years have seen historic gains for women in politics as New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton became the first woman to mount a serious bid for the presidency, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin became the Republican Party nominee for vice president and the first woman to run on a Republican presidential ticket, and California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi became the first female Speaker of the House.
Congresswoman Gwen Moore, former State Senate Majority Leader Mary Panzer, Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk and Wisconsin State Rep. Sue Jeskewitz will address the issues and challenges faced by women in the political arena, as well as the progress made by female politicians in Wisconsin during a panel discussion moderated by Gousha.
The event is co-presented by WisPolitic.com, a media partner of Small Business Times.
