内容説明
The focus of this project is to understand how people evaluate women candidates, who votes for them, and why. The book relies on data from actual elections in the U.S., as opposed to earlier works that relied on experiments and hypothetical survey questions to explore public support for women candidates. This approach allows us to gain more complete understanding of the role women candidates play in our political system.. Voting for Women in the United States is an examination of how the public evaluates women candidates for elective office and the conditions under which they choose to vote for them. It provides a history of women and elections in the U.S. and analysis of contemporary data on public reaction to women candidates. As the number of women who seek elective office in the U.S. continues to rise, understanding how and whether the public evaluates them is increasingly important.

内容説明
This book explains how voters evaluate women candidates, who votes for them, and why. Women comprise an ever-increasing percentage of the candidate pool for elective office in the United States. Public opinion surveys profess strong support for female candidaes, yet many of these same candidates still encounter skepticism (at best) or hostility (at worst) from the public. The role of candidates gender in elections is a complex one. Yet, our understanding of how voters react to these women is often based on election-specific, anecdotal, or hypothetical evidence. Voting for Women is one of the first book-length treatments of both how the public evaluates female candidates and whether and when people will support them at the polls. It also provides a history of women and elections in the U.S. and analysis of contemporary data on how voting environments can influence women's success.
