Ebook: See Jane win: the inspiring story of the women changing American politics

"After November 8, 2016, first came the sadness; then came the rage, activism, and protests; and then, remarkably, for thousands of women, the next step was to run for office. More women campaigned in state and national races in 2018 than at any other time in US history--and far from being just one "Year of the Woman," this was only the beginning. Journalist Caitlin Moscatello has written about female candidates running for office in the wake of the 2016 election for New York magazine's The Cut, Elle, and Glamour; and in See Jane Win, she further documents this pivotal time in women's history. Closely following a handful of candidates throughout the entire process, Moscatello tells the story of a movement and the important shift in the way women are represented in America. Told over the course of a year and a half, from the candidates' decision to run through Election Day 2018, See Jane Win takes readers inside the campaigns that made up the surge of women running--and getting elected in record-breaking numbers. From Abigail Spanberger, the former CIA agent in Virginia who unseated a Tea Party-backed incumbent in one of the night's biggest upsets, to Catalina Cruz, the first Dreamer elected to the New York State Assembly (in Donald Trump's old stomping grounds, no less), candidates of all stripes across the nation demanded their seats at the table, changing the face of politics as we know it and creating momentum for future elections."--;Part 1: The candidates -- Chapter 1 Abigail Spanberger The Resistance Comes for the Ballot: Spring 2017 -- Chapter 2 Meet the Class of 2018 Candidate Training: Summer 2017 -- Chapter 3 The 2017 Elections and London Lamar Big Wins, Campaign Launches, and a Glimpse of What's to Come: Fall 2017 and Winter 2018 Chapter 4 Anna Eskamani Testing a Progressive Agenda in a Purple District: Spring 2018 -- Chapter 5 Catalina Cruz A Former Dreamer Takes On Trump: Spring 2018 -- Part 2: The campaigns -- Chapter 6 Take the Money and Run Fundraising: Spring and Summer 2018 -- Chapter 7 On the Record Media: Late Spring and Summer 2018 -- Chapter 8 Unbought and Unbossed Candidates of Color: Summer 2018 -- Chapter 9 When Mom's the Candidate Childcare, Breastfeeding, and Public Perception: Fall 2018 -- Chapter 10 Offense and Defense Attack Ads, Trolls, and Debates: Fall 2018 -- Part 3: The victories-- Chapter 11 Primaries The Blue Wave Is Pink: Fall 2018 -- Chapter 12 A Reckoning The Ford-Kavanaugh Hearing, #MeToo, and the Final Push: Fall 2018 -- Chapter 13 Election Night Historic Wins for Women: November 2018 -- Chapter 14 The Future Is Here Swearing In and the First Few Weeks in Office: Winter 2019 -- Chapter 15 2020 Vision 2019 and Beyond
