Recenzje

Drawing on a wealth of quantitative and qualitative data, Reingold, Haynie, and Widner demonstrate the importance of centering intersectionality and women of color in the study of political representation. They convincingly demonstrate the tremendous impact of women of color in their capacity as policy leaders and agenda-setters, as well as their role in mitigating some of the more punitive aspects of welfare-reform in the late 1990s. It is a must-read for anyone interested in how race and gender identity shapes the election, behavior, and impact of state legislators.
