Here’s a couple of things that you might not know about Lis:

Lis wrote a book released in February 2007 titled The 51% Minority: How Women are Still Not Equal and What You Can Do About it:

Women make up 51% of the American population, yet still aren’t treated equally to men in areas that matter most. In this provocative new book, Lis Wiehl, one of the country’s top federal prosecutors, reveals the legal and social inequalities women must face in their daily lives–and provides a “Tool Box” for dealing with a variety of issues. From boardroom to courtroom, from pregnancy to contraception, from unequal pay to domestic violence, women are more often than not handed the short end of the stick.

And, Lis took on Mark Rudov, the sexist pig that said made comments during the Democratic Primary about how Hillary Clinton’s “nagging voice” would lose her the male voters. Lis, in her researched and prosecutorial style sticks up for Hillary and lets him know that his facts are just plain wrong:

So please join Lis as she moderates our distinguished panel including:

Jane Randel, Liz Claiborne Inc.
Casey Corcoran, Boston Public Health Commission
Janet DiFiore, Westchester District Attorney
