Join us on the Paulsdale porch to celebrate the 89th anniversary of women's right to vote in the U.S.!
 
August 26 is Women's Equality Day and API is celebrating with a vey special guest, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY).  Maloney will be discussing her new book, Rumors of our Progress have Been Greatly Exaggerated: Why Women's Lives Aren't Getting Any Easier and How we Can Make Real Progress for Ourselves and Our Daughters. Come out to hear why women may have come a long way, but still have far to go.  Read the synopsis here.

A reception and book-signing will follow. 

 Purchase your tickets here!
 Or call 856-231-1885 or email info@alicepaul.org       

About the author:

Time Magazine has called her a “tenacious, resilient legislator.”  The New York Sun said “her entire career has been marked by a kind of personal courage.”  The Village Voice characterized her as “a tiger in the House on every dollar due New York.”  And The New York Times said, “New York's Congressional delegation stands out for their moxie, kind of the way New Yorkers themselves often do.  Among the brashest members is Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, a Democrat of Manhattan.

New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney is a strong voice for New Yorkers, and a national leader with extensive accomplishments on security, financial services, the economy, and women’s issues. 

As the co-founder of the House 9/11 Commission Caucus, Maloney helped author and pass legislation to implement all of the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations for improving intelligence gathering.  And in the wake of the Dubai Ports debacle, she helped craft successful legislation to reform the system for vetting foreign investment in the United States.   

As a renowned champion for domestic and international women’s issues, Maloney helped passed legislation to target the demand side of sex trafficking and provide annual mammograms for women on Medicare.  Maloney also authored the Debbie Smith Act to process DNA kits, which has been called the most important anti-rape legislation in history.  The story of the legislation was made into a movie by Lifetime Television, A Life Interrupted: The Debbie Smith Story, with actress Lynn Adams portraying Congresswoman Maloney. 

New York City has no stronger advocate in Congress than Maloney.  She has doggedly fought for full federal assistance to help the city rebuild from 9/11, most recently helping secure the very first doses of federal money for the health care needs of those made sick by the toxic air at Ground Zero.  She has also delivered significant federal funding for the Second Avenue Subway and East Side Access transportation projects, both of which run through her district. 

Maloney’s career has been a series of firsts.  She is the first woman to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, the first woman to represent New York City’s 7th Councilman district, and the first woman Chair of the Joint Economic Committee, a House and Senate panel that examines and addresses the nation’s most pressing economic issues.  She was also the first woman to give birth while serving on the New York City Council. 

In addition to her work on the Joint Economic Committee, Maloney is a senior member of both the House Financial Services Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.


Synopsis:
As a young woman, Democratic Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked her grandmother for career advice. She was shocked by the reply: "Get married."     Though much has changed for women since then, more has remained the same. On a January night in 2008, Maloney and her daughter attended a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire. Some men in the audience held "Iron My Shirt" posters aloft. This small incident provoked outrage, but it provided an important peephole onto larger problems that women face today.      In her groundbreaking book, Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, Congresswoman Maloney shatters the myths about how far we've come, highlighting how women’s issues permeate every realm of society, and how political change has provided only a fraction of a solution.        The former co-chair of the Women’s Caucus, Maloney has access to a wealth of cutting-edge research that helps her illuminate how far behind we still fall on gender equality in issues from health care to educational opportunities, from poverty to reproductive freedom. It’s a fact that women are working harder than ever, but they're still only paid three-quarters the salary of their male counterparts. She weaves this vital information with gripping stories of real women, making clear that she’s not taking some abstract political position. She’s talking about real people, real lives.      Maloney also points the way forward, sharing inspiring tales of female activists who have managed to make a difference and presenting readers with "take action" guides that show all women practical ways they can help bring about change in their lives and the lives of others.
