WINNER OF THE 2022 VICTORIA SCHUCK AWARD, GIVEN BY THE AMERICAN
POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION Why Democratic women far outnumber
Republican women in elective offices From Kamala Harris and
Elizabeth Warren to Stacey Abrams and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
women around the country are running in-and winning-elections at an
unprecedented rate. It appears that women are on a steady march
toward equal representation across state legislatures and the US
Congress, but there is a sharp divide in this representation along
party lines. Most of the women in office are Democrats, and the
number of elected Republican women has been plunging for decades.
In The Partisan Gap, Elder examines why this disparity in women's
representation exists, and why it's only going to get worse.
Drawing on interviews with female office-holders, candidates, and
committee members, she takes a look at what it is like to be a
woman in each party. From party culture and ideology, to candidate
recruitment and the makeup of regional biases, Elder shows the
factors contributing to this harmful partisan gap, and what can be
done to address it in the future. The Partisan Gap explores the
factors that help, and hinder, women's political representation.
