Recenzje

Wineinger offers a deep analysis of the role Republican women play in shaping the message of the GOP and the barriers they still face in reaching the highest echelons of power within the party. Developing a concept of partisan-gender identity, Wineinger shows how Republican women utilize their identity as women to elevate conservative policies and advance their own standing in the caucus, while avoiding characterizations of identity politics that are rejected by the GOP. The book makes an important contribution to the study of gender, political parties, and partisan polarization in Congress.
