Kathleen Teahan, a Massachusetts Democratic State Legislator from 1997-2007, pulls back the curtain on some of the more puzzling, yet essential aspects of lawmaking, lobbying, and gaining an effective voice in governing. With stories and specific examples from her decade as a state representative, Teahan offers steps women and other concerned citizens can take to gain confidence and inspiration to pursue political positions. Teahan's presentation is based on her new book, "For the People, Against the Tide: A Democratic Woman's Ten Years in the Massachusetts Legislature."
