Recenzje

'Gender and Elections is the essential source for studying the effect of gender in US elections. Each edition continues to be on the cutting edge of scholarship and takes the pulse of what is happening on the ground. The book chronicles the changing political landscape with an increasing number of women entering the electoral arena. Each chapter analyzes the advances women candidates have made in running for and winning elective office at every level of government, as well as the obstacles women continue to face. Students enjoy this textbook because it is thought-provoking and relevant to the political world they see around them. This compilation of research makes a significant contribution to the field, both theoretically and historically.' Kathryn DePalo-Gould, Florida International University
