What happens in an electoral environment involving female
candidates? Do women face different challenges during the electoral
process? How do gender dynamics alter the conventional norms of
electoral politics? Do women campaign differently from men? Do male
candidates pay more attention to women's issues, or make other
strategic and behavioral changes when opposed by a female
candidate? Author Richard Logan Fox answers these questions and
many others with compelling evidence that suggests that women
candidates are having a profound impact on the electoral process.
In Gender Dynamics in Congressional Elections, Fox studies the
congressional races of 1992 and 1994 in California in which a
record 19 women were candidates for House seats. He contrasts the
experiences of both the male and female candidates and sheds new
light on the different challenges women face during political
campaigns. Providing a groundbreaking examination of an
understudied topic, Gender Dynamics in Congressional Elections will
be essential for students and professionals in political science.
