Full Description


The focus of this project is to understand how people evaluate women candidates, who votes for them, and why. The book relies on data from actual elections in the U.S., as opposed to earlier works that relied on experiments and hypothetical survey questions to explore public support for women candidates. This approach allows us to gain more complete understanding of the role women candidates play in our political system.. Voting for Women in the United States is an examination of how the public evaluates women candidates for elective office and the conditions under which they choose to vote for them. It provides a history of women and elections in the U.S. and analysis of contemporary data on public reaction to women candidates. As the number of women who seek elective office in the U.S. continues to rise, understanding how and whether the public evaluates them is increasingly important.
