|
August 26 is
Women's Equality Day and API is celebrating with a very 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. |
 |
|
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.
