    the debate often changes very quickly from her policies and practices to her gender, whether or not she's on her period, what she's wearing, and how great it is for a women to be doing XYZ.
-Given how much she and other women have already run for high-office, I tend to think the electorate is far less sensitive to gender. That said, the media loves a story and "the first" woman/black/hispanic is always going to be the lede.

    whether or not she's on her period
-Seriously? This is something you've encountered in the media before?

As for books, yes they do often write their own books but they have co-authors too sometimes. I think Jimmy Carter alone has written around 140 books.
