Representative mom

the long version

The ups and downs of Susan Molinari's life form the heart of this narrative. Bright, hardworking, and energetic, she took on challenges when no one thought she could succeed and painstakingly built a career, eventually rising to the summit of her profession. She also met Congressman Bill Paxon, the man of her dreams, married him, and started a family. In Representative Mom, Susan Molinari relates the pressures, joys, and complications of being a powerful woman in a traditionally male-dominated environment, and discusses the difficulties of balancing family life with professional responsibilities.
