Layla of The Hill Chronicles (Now Defunct) will host her Blog Talk Radio Show Dhimmi LIVE News this morning at 9 A.M. EDT. I will join her as cohost and our guest today will be Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). We will discuss her book whose title is a conversation all by itself: Rumors of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated: Why Women's Lives Aren't Getting Any Easier--And How We Can Make Real Progress For Ourselves and Our Daughters

As a male, I do not understand how our society can tolerate the inequalities that still exist between men and women. Women with the same educational and job skills as a man will earn only 80% of what the male will earn right out of the starting gate from college. Although Hillary came close to being nominated as a contender for the most powerful job in the world, was sexism involved in Obama beating her out?

Join us for a lively conversation on the status of women in American society today. Congresswoman Maloney will share with us her insights on what we need to do to close the gender gap.
