But do these high-profile men accurately represent the gendered make up of corporate-government in the United States? In this first in-depth look at the changing face of corporate lobbying, Denise Benoit shows how women who have historically worked mostly in policy areas relating to "women's issues" such as welfare, family, and health have become increasingly influential as corporate lobbyists, specializing in what used to be considered "masculine" policy, such as taxes and defense. Benoit finds that this new crop of female lobbyists mobilize both masculinity and femininity in ways that create and maintain trusting, open, and strong relations with those in government, and at the same time help corporations to save and earn billions of dollars. While the media focuses on the dubious behaviors of men at the top of business and government, this book shows that female corporate lobbyists are indeed one of the best kept secrets in Washington.BusinesswomenUnited StatesCorporationsPolitical activityUnited StatesLobbyingUnited StatesBusinesswomenCorporationsPolitical activityLobbying328.73/078082Benoit Denise1955-1467859MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778363303321The best-kept secret3678722UNINA
