Strong, Perservering Women
I went to a great panel discussion tonight. "Women In Politics and Policy", Featuring (I was very impressed with these women!, especially Mrs. Wood): Corinne Wood (Former Lieutenant Governor of Illinois), Tracy Fischman (Vice President for Policy at Planned Parenthood of Chicago), Dorothy Brown (Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County). It was moderated by: Paula Wolff (Former Policy Director for Illinois governor Jim Thompson; currently a senior executive at Chicago Metropolis 2020 and lecturer at the Harris Graduate School of Public Policy).
It was a packed-house roundtable discussion where panelists from both political sides discussed their experiences in the political and policymaking arenas and spoke about how gender has played a role in their careers and how they have been perceived.
ps. Did you know that Viagara is covered under healthcare policies but not some contraceptives? Craziness.
