DESCRIPTION: Watson uses research from his book "Anticipating Madam President" to examine questions such as: Why hasn't the United States elected a female president? Will we and, if so, when will this happen? What obstacles will she face and what will she need to do -- that a successful male candidate for the office does not need to do -- in order to get elected? Once a woman is in the White House, how will the women's movement, the office of the presidency, and the nation be impacted?
