Misjudged, underestimated and sometimes ignored, Jennifer Dunn broke the gender barrier repeatedly as a single mother of two boys. Once labeled a "Glamour Girl" in Congress, Dunn rose throught the ranks to become one of the most powerful women on Capitol Hill, a protege of the speaker of the House and a friend of presidents. Dunn fought vigorously for families and women throughout her career. She was instrumental in the passage of the AMBER alert system for missing children. She championed Megan's Law that established community notification of sex predators. Internationally, Dunn helped secure a women's center in Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein and worked for orphans in Africa.
