Although no woman has yet served as president of the United States,
women have played important roles within the executive branch and
have found many ways to exert pressure on the president. In this
work, presidential scholar Janet M. Martin studies the influence of
women on and in the American executive branch. The Presidency and
Women offers a sophisticated understanding of the nation's largest
interest group and insight into the nation's most visible office.
Martin studies in detail the presidencies of Kennedy through
Carter, demonstrating both the substantive growth in women's
involvement in policy making and the political showcasing of women
appointees. Her analysis provides insight into the day-to-day
interactions between the White House and outside groups, the
outside political pressures for certain policy agendas, and the
internal White House dynamics in response to those pressures. This
book weaves the actions of presidents, their White House staff, and
others in government with the actions of women and women's
organizations. The result is a longitudinal political narrative of
the presidency and women from 1961, to 1981, with a focus on
domestic policy and the departments and agencies relating to that
policy.
