phyllis known to stop the era in the 1970's. one of the women that i interviewed, the first thing this woman said to me when we sat down for the interview was phyllis was tea party before she was party. and she's actually right if you look at some of the writings and still today. generally speaking while conservative women have been active in politics, they haven't been front and center. that's really what prompted the book. why are so many women out in front of the movement and then i we wanted to know the significance of this for american politics, so many of you are here, you probably follow american politics closely, you heard of the gender gap in american poption. since 1980 roughly women are significantly more likely to vote for democratic candidates.

what i wanted to determine was nationally speaking where we are begin to go see a shift in maybe america's women in politics, maybe more moderate, more right-leaning as opposed to left-leaning, that's the two questions that i'm addressing in the book. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> the new washington postput together list of conservative books. the book starts off with george will's, the pursuit of happiness. william buckley, jr. is next with nearer my god, margaret thatcher discussing her time as
