See Joan Run (for Office) in This Agency's Charming, Pro-Woman Take on Dick and Jane

Here's the funny thing about Dick and Jane books: We're aware they existed but don't actually remember reading them as kids (probably because their social high point was between the 1930s and 1970s). If they remain impactful today, it's probably more because of the spin-offs they inspired than because of the originals … which is amazing when you think about it.

This time, the nostalgic throwback is being used to encourage more women to run for office.
