• Sommario/riassunto: The theme of Political Women: Language and Leadership is how women who have run, been nominated to run, or appointed to national positions have used rhetoric, or have had rhetoric used to describe, their political successes and failures. Our book's appeal lies in accessibility to audiences interested in women's political discourse as it related to political rhetoric, political discourse, leadership studies, and women's studies, as well as gender issues, satire, and pop culture.
