This book addresses women's civil strategies for negotiation and
leadership through careful analysis of social science research and
management theory as well as interviews with women legislators,
documenting how women in Washington are affecting the development
of the world at all levels. In October 2013, after the war between
Republican and Democratic men in Congress resulted in a government
shutdown, Time magazine referred to the women legislators as "the
only adults left in Washington." In Why Congress Needs Women:
Bringing Sanity to the House and Senate, editor Michele A. Paludi
and various contributors explain how women in Washington have
redefined leadership and power by embracing a transformational
leadership style: a style that incorporates empowerment, ethics,
nurturance, inclusiveness, and social justice, transcending their
own self-interests for the good of the group—or, in the case of
the shut-down, for the good of the nation. A resource that will
prove invaluable for anyone interested in politics and leadership
as well as students taking courses in politics, women's studies,
gender studies, or management, the chapters provide an in-depth
review of the ways women in Washington are striving to find lasting
solutions to our nation's challenges. The contributors document the
mindset and methodologies women legislators are using to achieve
their legislative goals and work toward creating gender-equitable
environments in Washington's well-established climate where
bullying, harassment, and sexual exploitation is perceived as
normative. Insights from interviews with women senators and
congress members enhance the scholarship discussed in this book.
