Book SynopsisTrade Review"Electable should be required reading for, well, pretty much everyone." — Daily Beast “In this hopeful and well-documented study, Vitali clearly shows the importance of a truly level playing field. ‘It’s the job of the candidates to run,’ she writes, ‘but it’s on us to ensure the track is uniformly flat for all of them’ ... Intelligent and engaging political analysis.” — Kirkus Reviews “An insightful and well-informed look at the progress women in politics have made, and where they still need to go." — Publisher’s Weekly “Electable, Ali Vitali's ironically titled new book, is a smart, fresh look at why women candidates have not been able to break that final electoral glass ceiling, as well as a fascinating insider's account of life for a woman reporter on the campaign trail. Vitali's sharply wrought portraits of the key players in the 2020 campaign and thoughtful analysis of the pitfalls of gender politics make this a must read for anyone seeking answers to why our politics fail to deliver.” — Andrea Mitchell, NBC Chief Washington Correspondent, Anchor Andrea Mitchell Reports “Is America ready for a woman to be president? A resounding ‘yes’ according to polls and yet it still hasn’t happened. What gives? Ali Vitali confronts the possibilities we may not want to consider and explains in this sharp and often poignant book what it’s going to take to break the single dumbest losing streak in politics.” — Katy Tur, MSNBC Anchor and New York Times bestselling author of Unbelievable
