Representative Maxine Berman's account of life in the male-dominated Michigan State legislature. Saucy, shocking, outrageous, but never dull. Here is the story of one woman working with the good-old boys--whether they want her around or not. Berman takes us behind the scenes as issues unfold and deals are made. The legislative process is described from the inside out, along with all the dirty little secrets. She exposes the fraternity of male lawmakers who are uneasy and unsure of their female counterparts--who resent their presence, and hardly know what to do about them or how to act. A veteran of over ten years in the Michigan House of Representatives, Berman has faced the deceit and prejudices, the games and ambiguity, the blatant sexism that runs wild within the political power structure. And she tells all!

Although I don't agree with some of what the author says, she says it well. This book is funny and insightful. The author has written about women and their place in politics and how many important issues are overlooked by men in politics. She was very direct and to the point that there all issues are important to women although not all issues are important to men (such as mammogram scanner machines). She talks about how she overcame some of the preconcieved notions men had about her as a woman and how she learned to survive in politics. Very interesting. enjoy.

Maxine Berman's inside view of the workings of the Michigan Legislature is funny, insightful, and interesting. An easy read, this book is full of biting commentary that forces the reader to think about political issues from a different perspective. Read it and weep tears from laughing so hard! Refreshing perspectives.
