NY's US Sen. Gillibrand has book deal

Source: AP

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is very much an advocate for leaning in.

Gillibrand, a New York Democrat, has a deal with Ballantine Bantam Dell to write a book that's both a memoir and a call to action for women and will build upon the goals of her Off the Sidelines political action committee.

"I am incredibly excited about this opportunity to expand on the work I have been doing through my Off the Sidelines initiative, encouraging all women — whether they're in the halls of government, executive boardrooms and corner offices or attending local government meetings, PTA meetings and even neighborhood gatherings — to make their voices heard," Gillibrand said in a statement issued by Ballantine.

I shook her hand (and the Big Dog's hand) at a campaign event 7 years ago.
