Politicking While Female traces the challenges and opportunities
that shape the experiences of women who pursue and hold positions
of political leadership in the United States. In this volume,
Nichole M. Bauer gathers new essays studying the forces that keep
women out of political institutions, along with the hurdles faced
by female candidates and politicians once they overcome those
barriers. Drawing on recent, original data, Politicking While
Female examines the life cycle of a woman's political career. The
first section charts the development of political identities that
shape women's participation in politics as voters and as potential
candidates, with attention to the patterns of socialization that
can discourage women from seeing themselves as political leaders.
The next two sections focus on the process of deciding to run for
public office, especially the crucial role of mentors, and the
challenges female candidates face when campaigning, as they work to
raise money, develop effective messages, and overcome voter biases
regarding women in leadership roles. The final section explores how
women govern once in office, showing the impact of having larger
numbers of women in positions of political power. A valuable
resource for students, scholars, and voters of all backgrounds,
Politicking While Female: The Political Lives of Women offers a
comprehensive and accessible collection of essays, supported by new
research and analysis, that captures central debates in the study
of gender and politics.
