Women in Congress -- Late to the party: Party culture and the recruitment of women candidates -- Conclusion: The future of the partisan gap among women in office.From Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren to Stacey Abrams and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, women around the country are running in-and winning-elections at an unprecedented rate. It appears that women are on a steady march toward equal representation across state legislatures and the US Congress, but there is a sharp divide in this representation along party lines. Most of the women in office are Democrats, and the number of elected Republican women has been plunging for decades. In 'The Partisan Gap', Elder examines why this disparity in women's representation exists, and why it's only going to get worse. Drawing on interviews with female office-holders, candidates, and committee members, she takes a look at what it is like to be a woman in each party.NYU scholarship online.Political partiesUnited StatesPlatformsLiberalismUnited StatesHistoryConservatismUnited StatesHistoryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistoryMinoritiesPolitical activityUnited StatesHistoryWomenPolitical activityUnited StatesHistoryWomen legislatorsUnited StatesHistoryWomen political candidatesUnited StatesPolitical partiesPlatforms.LiberalismHistory.ConservatismHistory.Political cultureHistory.MinoritiesPolitical activityHistory.WomenPolitical activityHistory.Women legislatorsHistory.Women political candidates324.273Elder Laurel884263StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554493803321The partisan gap2815702UNINA
