Excluded from the ranks of elite executive decision-makers for
generations, women are now exercising power as chiefs of government
and chiefs of state. As of April 2016, 112 women in 73 countries
have served as presidents or prime ministers. The Gendered
Executive is a critical examination of national executives,
focusing on matters of identity, representation, and power. The
editors and contributors to this volume address the impact of
female executives through political mobilization and participation,
policy- and decision-making, and institutional change. Other topics
include party nomination processes, the intersectionality of race
and gender, and women-centered U.S. foreign policy in southern
Africa. In addition, case studies from Chile, India, Portugal, and
the United States are presented, as are cross-national comparisons
of women leaders in Latin America. The Gendered Executive will
enhance our understanding of the complexity of gender in and
comparative analyses of executive politics. Contributors include:
Amy C. Alexander, Sheetal Chhabria, Georgia Duerst-Lahti, Maria C.
Escobar-Lemmon, Cory Charles Gooding, Lilly Goren, Karen M. Hult,
Farida Jalalzai, Daniela F. Melo, Catherine Reyes-Housholder,

Global Women Leaders: Studies in Feminist Political Rhetoric
demonstrates the ways in which women have used political rhetoric
and political discourse to provide leadership, or assert their
right to leadership, on a global level. This collection fits into
the robust research area of international political women and their
use of language in gaining and maintaining political power. It
casts a wider net in terms of discussing women's efforts to assert
and preserve their roles of authority, particularly when their
audiences may perceive their authority as illegitimate due to
gender. Chapters dedicated to Elizabeth II and Sheikha Moza Bint
Nasser discuss the more traditional ways in which women leaders use
language to construct political power. Other chapters focus on
women who serve as political activists, either individually or as
part of a group, including Aasma Mahfouz of the Egyptian Revolution
of 2011 and the women who help direct United Nations policy through
their speeches in the General Assembly. Global Women Leaders will
appeal to scholars of political communication and international
rhetoric.

Although no woman has yet served as president of the United States,
women have played important roles within the executive branch and
have found many ways to exert pressure on the president. In this
work, presidential scholar Janet M. Martin studies the influence of
women on and in the American executive branch. The Presidency and
Women offers a sophisticated understanding of the nation's largest
interest group and insight into the nation's most visible office.
Martin studies in detail the presidencies of Kennedy through
Carter, demonstrating both the substantive growth in women's
involvement in policy making and the political showcasing of women
appointees. Her analysis provides insight into the day-to-day
interactions between the White House and outside groups, the
outside political pressures for certain policy agendas, and the
internal White House dynamics in response to those pressures. This
book weaves the actions of presidents, their White House staff, and
others in government with the actions of women and women's
organizations. The result is a longitudinal political narrative of
the presidency and women from 1961, to 1981, with a focus on
domestic policy and the departments and agencies relating to that
policy.
