At the same time, progress in electing women to the U.S. Congress and state legislatures has stalled. The essays in 'Women and Elective Office', which feature research on women as political candidates and officeholders, address this paradox. Recruitment patterns, media portrayals, and voter reactions to women candidates are analyzed along with the impact of women in office relative to the challenges they face. The second edition includes increased coverage of women on the congressional level, women officeholders of colour, and analysis of women parliamentarians worldwide.Oxford scholarship online.Women in public lifeUnited StatesWomenPolitical activityUnited StatesWomen political candidatesUnited StatesWomen in public lifeWomenPolitical activityWomen political candidates320/.082Thomas Sue1957-1708024Wilcox Clyde1953-1084244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807375103321Women and Elective Office4096714UNINA
