EDUCATION SESSION #729
Vice President Walter F. Mondale Discusses Women in Politics and Business
|
|
|
In 1984, the Democratic Party's Presidential candidate Walter F. Mondale made the groundbreaking selection of Geraldine A. Ferraro as his running mate.
In 1992, the election of several female senators sparked the name "Year of the Woman."
In 2017, with 21 female senators including Minnesota's own Senator Amy Klobuchar and 104 congresswomen, including Betty McCollum of Minnesota and a woman presidential candidate who received more votes than her rival, the political scene for women candidates has decidedly changed.
Re-visit this recent history with those who made it happen. Following a welcome by Genna Garver, Of Counsel and Chair of Dorsey’s Investment Management Group, Vice President Mondale and Maxine Issacs, his former press secretary, will reflect on the challenges he faced in selecting Representative Ferraro as his running mate and the progress -– and setbacks –- that women experience today in politics and other settings.
Bring your questions for a fascinating discussion and a look behind the scenes of what was a most memorable electoral campaign that sowed the seeds for women's advancement in many spheres, as moderated by Professor Lawrence Jacobs.
