Awards/获奖情况：Praise for BREAKTHROUGH
"A great account of the commitment, comraderie, and capability of the women who’ve worked to better our nation." – U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski
"Intellectually, Nancy L. Cohen convincingly makes the case for why it is essential that our democracy include women at the table, not just for representation’s sake, but for the better outcomes that come from involving all perspectives. Emotionally, Breakthrough reignites the passion and optimism of those who have been fighting for this for so long, too long, and simultaneously inspires those who are new to this fight." — Sandra Fluke, Social Justice Attorney
“If ever there were a time in America’s history when a woman could reach the Oval Office, this might just well be it. Why now? Why not sooner?...A nationally recognized historian and expert on women in politics, Cohen’s interviews with trailblazing women elected officials, NGO executives, pollsters, and grassroots organizers sheds important light on the dividing and cohesive elements certain to influence the next presidential election. Whether one thinks Hillary Clinton is a shoo-in or long shot, Cohen’s well- reasoned and -researched treatise illuminates this defining moment in American history.” —Booklist
“Although the author argues that Americans don’t consider ‘trustworthiness a distinctly feminine trait or intelligence a distinctly masculine one,’ she believes that women are more compassionate and collaborative than men and that their leadership is vastly important…In her brisk analysis, Cohen feels optimistic that the next election will cross ‘a historic threshold.’” —Kirkus
