Contributors to the new book Love Her, Love Her Not: The Hillary Paradox edited by Joanne Bamberger, will be at Chicago's Women & Children First Bookstore Jan. 7, 7:30 p.m. Chicago's Veronica Arreola with be at the event, as will the book's editor, Joanne Bamberger, and contributor Emily Zanotti.

Hillary Rodham Clinton evokes extreme and varied emotions among voters in a way no other candidate in recent memory has. Love Her, Love Her Not: The Hillary Paradox delves into the nuances of the country's complicated feelings about Clinton.

In the book, Bamberger and a curated group of 28 contributors ( consisting of women from every part of the USA and includes prize-winning journalists to millennial bloggers and members of every political party ) look at the most powerful woman in American politics today.

The book tackles a range of topics including:

— Is America ready for a woman president?

— Why, in 2015, do our collective expectations for men in politics differ so vastly from our expectations for women?

— What do feminists really think about Hillary?

— Sex, Lies, and The Blue Dress

— Why Hillary Clinton can—and should—change the way America cares for children and supports families

— Can Hillary win the Democratic nomination?

— Why Hillary's Pantsuits get more criticism than The Donald's Hair

— Does "likability" really matter?

Editor Bamberger is the publisher and editor-in-chief of the award-winning digital magazine the Broad Side, as well as the author of Mothers of Intention: How Women and Social Media are Revolutionizing Politics in America. Her writing has been featured in many publications, including the Washington Post, the Daily Beast, and the Huffington Post, and her political commentary has been featured on CNN and MSNBC, among others.

Arreola is a professional feminist, writer, and mom. Her blog, Viva la Feminista, has been named a top political blog by BlogHer, the Women's Media Center, and LATISM. Veronica's work on behalf of women and girls has been recognized with a UIC Woman of the Year award, a Chicago Foundation for Women Impact Award, and an organizational Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring. Her writing has appeared in Bitch, Ms., and the Christian Science Monitor. She lives in Chicago with her husband, daughter, and two rescue dogs.

Zanotti is a Republican political strategist and author. She is a regular contributor to the American Spectator and a featured opinion columnist with the Wall Street Journal.
