Patty Satalia talks to Nichola Gutgold about Female Candidates, When the first woman president moves into the White House-whenever that day might be-she will be indebted to at least five women who ran for president before her and helped pave the way. Are we ready for our first Madam President? We talk about the obstacles and opportunities for women as presidential contenders. REVIEWS................................................................................. "Paving the Way for Madam President is a worthwhile book for scholars interested in women in politics." - Farida Jalalzai, University of Missouri-St. Louis Journal of Women, Politics and Policy "In this engaging narrative of pioneering women in politics, communications professor Gutgold demonstrates that Clinton's announcement was hardly unprecedented. Recommended." ­ Choice "As speculation about the prospects for a woman president increase, it's crucial to know the stories of those who have ventured on that journey. Paving the Way for Madam President updates the subject with accounts of the latest presidential candidates who happened to also be women." ­ Janis L. Edwards, University of Alabama "Finally a book has been written that gives women in television broadcasting their proper due. In a world of preference for men with "gravitas," this rhetorical analysis shows why there is an elite cadre of highly intelligent and tough women--from Barbara Walters to Christiane Amanpour--who can hold their own and surpass many men to gain ratings and communicate the messages audiences want to hear. Gutgold has done an excellent job taking the reader beyond biographical detail to illuminate the skill and power of women in television news." - Elizabeth J. Natalle, associate professor of communication, University of North Carolina-Greensboro   "Gutgold's careful selection, comprehensive research, and thoughtful analysis of individual professional style gives Seen and Heard a broad appeal. It belongs on the shelf with the best of the broadcast history books." ­Donna Acerra, associate professor of communication, Northampton Community College
