With much admiration Kirsten. Foreword by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Kirsten Elizabeth Gillibrand née Rutnik; born December 9 1966 is an American lawyer and politician serving as the junior United States senator from New York since 2009. A member of the Democratic Party she served as member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007 to 2009. Born and raised in upstate New York Gillibrand graduated from Dartmouth College and from the UCLA School of Law. After holding positions in government and private practice and working on Hillary Clinton's 2000 U.S. Senate campaign Gillibrand was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2006. She represented New York's 20th congressional district and was reelected in 2008. During her House tenure Gillibrand was a Blue Dog Democrat noted for voting against the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. After Clinton was appointed U.S. Secretary of State in 2009 Governor David Paterson selected Gillibrand to fill the Senate seat Clinton had vacated making her New York's second female senator. Gillibrand won a special election in 2010 to keep the seat and was reelected to full terms in 2012 and 2018. During her Senate tenure Gillibrand has shifted to the left. She supports paid family leave a federal jobs guarantee and the replacement of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Off the Sidelines is a playbook for women who want to step up whether in Congress or the boardroom or the local PTA. If women were fully represented in politics Gillibrand says national priorities would shift to issues that directly impact them: affordable daycare paid family medical leave and equal pay. Pulling back the curtain on Beltway politics she speaks candidly about her legislative successes securing federally funded medical care for 9/11 first responders repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell and her crushing disappointments failing by five votes to pass a bill protecting survivors of sexual assault in the military. Gillibrand also shares stories of growing up the daughter and granddaughter of two trailblazing feminists in a politically active family in Albany New York and retraces her nonlinear path to public office. She lays bare the highs and lows of being a pregnant woman in Congress the joys and sacrifices every working mother shares and the support system she turns to in her darkest moments: her husband their two little boys and lots of girlfriends. In Off the Sidelines Gillibrand is the tough-love older sister and cheerleader every woman needs. She explains why 'ambition' is not a dirty word failure is a gift listening is the most effective tool and the debate over women 'having it all' is absurd. In her sharp honest and refreshingly relatable voice she dares us all to tap into our inner strength find personal fulfillment and speak up for what we believe in. Ballantine Books hardcover
