Leslie Sanchez -- strategist, writer and political seer --nbsp;spent much of 2008 as an analystnbsp;on CNN,nbsp;examining, investigating and decipheringnbsp;the historic moment for women and politics that was the presidential election. And what she sees in the future isnbsp;a landscape changed drastically for women the world over and their expectations. In You've Come a Long Way, Maybe, she debunks the cultural and political myths surrounding women, and looks at the wide range of reactionsnbsp;Hillary, Michelle and Sarah provoked from the small towns to the big city salons to the Sunday talk shows.nbsp;She pays special attention to those most active and most examined during the election: the disappointed Hillary supporters, the rabid Sarah Palin fans, and everyone else wondering about the role of the new First Lady. Along the way, Leslie takes a hard look at what the election will mean fornbsp;women now and in the future, and also at what leaders might emerge in 2012, and beyond. «
