PRAISE

“My colleague and Friend, Carolyn Maloney, has been a tireless and effective advocate for women in America and abroad. I applaud her ongoing efforts to highlight issues affecting women and to fight for solutions that improve women’s lives.”

Senator Hillary Clinton

“ Even after decades of tremendous progress for women, Congresswoman Maloney forcefully makes clear how far we have to go to end gender inequities and improve women’s lives.  Her guide to how women and like-minded men can make that journey is both practical and inspiring.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

“In Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated, Congresswoman Maloney lays out just how far women have come in improving our position in society over the last 40 years,  noting  that unfortunately in recent years, a step forward often results in two steps back. But the book indirectly makes a much larger point--that having women in political leadership is the sure way to achieve our goals. Carolyn Maloney lays out the case with complete clarity on why it's important and effective to have women in positions of power speaking up for women.”

Geraldine Ferraro, 1984 vice presidential nominee

“Carolyn Maloney has given us a factual, lively, life-saving book full of reasons why American women are told we're already equal -- when we're anything but. She also tells us how to move forward anyway. If you have time for only one book to save your sanity, advance women's equality, and connect your life to politics in this election year, Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated is definitely it.”

Gloria Steinem, American feminist icon, journalist and women's rights advocate

“Back in the 70's and 80's we thought we had won the "war" for women's equality.  Now we know we just established a beachhead and everyday there are folks undermining it.  Congresswoman Maloney's book is a MUST read.  Our struggle for equality needs to be re-energized and this is the re-energizer handbook!”

Pat Schroeder, president and CEO of the Association of American Publishers

“Carolyn Maloney sounds an alarming wake-up call for every woman in the United States. We haven't gone as far as we've been led to believe. She makes a compelling case for why women must be included in the Constitution--bottom line; we need the Equal Rights Amendment.”

Ellie Smeal, president and founder of the Feminist Majority Foundation and publisher of publisher of Ms. Magazine

“Mixing wit and outrage, Carolyn Maloney shatters the notion that the glass ceiling has been shattered and shows how the old boys club continues to hang a "No Girls" sign on the clubhouse door.  Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated offers a withering assessment of the dismal pace of progress then provides practical steps for kicking the struggle for women's equality into high gear.  She is Maloney, hear her roar.”
