Question for Valerie

I'm sure there was a whole audience for your book that wasn't expecting your segment on PPD, and would normally not be exposed to that part of your story.

Did you get a lot of feedback from the partisans and wonks and political junkies that read your book...and what was it like?

Lessons Learned?

Valerie: I have also suffered from depression and I have a strong personal commitment to public service. What I would like to know (having not read your book yet) is how struggling through depression helped you to survive the horrible challenges you faced after the security breach/leak. What skills or lessons did you learn from one scary situation that you were able to apply to others?

Thank you for your years of service to our country and for helping us all strive to do better.

Submit Your Questions For Valerie Plame Wilson Interview

On behalf of BlogHer, I am pleased to announce that I will soon be interviewing Valerie Plame Wilson about her experience with postpartum depression. We are very fortunate that she was willing to share her story so openly in her new book "Fair Game", in which she dedicates a chapter to the birth of her twins in 2000 and her ensuing struggle with PPD. This interview is part of BlogHers Act's focus on maternal health in 2007 and 2008, as we continue to join Postpartum Support International in urging Congress to pass the MOTHERS Act for postpartum depression education, research and treatment.

BlogHer readers, while we're getting ready for this exciting upcoming event, we'd like to ask for your help! What questions would you like to ask Valerie with regard to her postpartum experience? Please post your questions in the comment section as soon as possible so that we have them for the interview. Thanks!
