DESCRIPTION:The online magazine Lipstick and Politics announces its upcoming event, 
 "Exploring the Connection: Politics, Gender and Civic Participation." The 
 event, which will be held on October 16, 2012, will present a conversation 
 between California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, Eventbrite Co-founder 
 Julia Hart and Watermark CEO Marilyn Nagel. It will be moderated by Mira 
 Veda, founder and CEO of Lipstick and Politics, and followed by a question 
 and answer session.\n \nThe purpose of the event is to explore how 
 political participation by both men and women shapes the lives of ordinary 
 Americans. It will explore the interactions between gender and 
 participation in the political sphere. Issues discussed will include topics 
 such as the social consequences of the gender gap in civic participation 
 and the truth behind the belief that men and women think differently in 
 public office and business.\n \nWith the 2012 presidential elections around 
 the corner, these questions are particularly salient, Veda said. In an 
 election year inwhich topics such as women's health have been hotly 
 debated, a space to discuss the role of gender in the political arena and 
 public life is necessary, said Veda.\n \nBy bringing together male and 
 female representatives from the fields of public service and business, the 
 events strives to present a range of perspectives on the ways in which 
 gender impacts and is impacted by civic participation.\n \n
