How and why the election of Donald Trump inspired more women to
enter politics Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in the
2016 presidential election shocked and dismayed many women, and
motivated many to run for office at all levels of government. In
The Pink Wave, Regina M. Matheson and William W. Parsons explore
this inspiring phenomenon and its impact on women’s
representation. Drawing on national surveys and in-depth interviews
of over 900 women, across almost every state, Matheson and Parsons
show us why more women decided to run for state legislature during
the Trump administration, the obstacles they faced on the campaign
trail, and whether they ultimately succeeded or failed in their bid
for office. Candidates share valuable lessons they learned from
their recent campaign experiences, providing future insight for
women—on both sides of the aisle—who may be inspired to follow
in their footsteps. Matheson and Parsons examine the impact Donald
Trump had on women candidates—both positive and negative—and
women’s ambitions to pursue political office. The Pink Wave
celebrates the hundreds of trailblazing women creating new
political opportunities for representation, now and in the future.
