Date: Friday, June 12, 2009, 7:30pm - 9:00pm

Description: Nancy Pelosi made history when she became the first woman Speaker of the House in January 2007.

Pelosi will discuss her book, relate personal stories, and encourage women to get into politics. She'll share lessons learned on her way to becoming the highest ranking woman in politics. She'll sign books and greet fans at the end of the evening.

All attendees receive a complimentary copy of Pelosi's book, Know Your Power: A Message To America's Daughters, plus a Progressive Forum bookplate commemorating the evening.

Two free tickets per Rice ID (student, faculty & staff) are available at the Student Center Information Desk on a first-come, first serve basis while supplies last.
