Ebook: Why Congress Needs Women: Bringing Sanity to the House and Senate

This book addresses women's civil strategies for negotiation and leadership through careful analysis of social science research and management theory as well as interviews with women legislators, documenting how women in Washington are affecting the development of the world at all levels.

• Addresses how women in Washington have redefined leadership and power in terms of how they listen, work collaboratively, negotiate, facilitate change, communicate effectively, and empower and mentor others

• Identifies differences in the evidenced personal ethics between the genders in Congress that are reflective of their characters and professionalism―or lack thereof

• Provides examples of the unusual bipartisanship and civility can be seen in the informal "sisterhood" that women senators and representatives have established that allows for more mature and cooperative relationships
