Acknowledgements
This book is the product of years of work, frustration, hope, persistence and help from others. I must begin by thanking Sean Kelly and all the people at Cambria Press—thank you for believing in me and this book. I would like to thank all of the members of Congress, members of EMILY's List, and Founding Mothers who spoke to me about EMILY's List over the past five years. I would like to thank Karen O’Connor and Sarah Brewer for introducing me to several important persons in D.C. that helped expand this project. I would like to thank David Reilly and Nancy McGlen for the support and encouragement as I struggled to balance family, teaching, administrative duties and completing the manuscript. My thanks also go out to the Research Council and the EVPAA's office at Niagara University as well as Lawrence C. Dodd, Margaret Conway, Dan Smith, Beth Rosenson, Lynn Leverty
