Women of the 2016 Election is an examination of women who played prominent roles in the 2016 US presidential election. The collection focuses on women from different parties, races, religions, and immigrant statuses who fulfill roles as candidates, staffers, first families, journalists, and grassroots organizers. The contributors to this collection give a unique view into women's influences on an unprecedented election. They examine the roles of feminism, morality, motherhood, expectations of voters, the press, masculinity, femininity, race, class, and agency in this interdisciplinary work, which spans the fields of political science, feminist theory, communication, and women's and gender studies. This is the election that gave rise to the Trump presidency and the #MeToo movement, and the women considered here have left trails and revealed how far there is yet to go for women achieving power in the highest echelons of American politics, media, and society.
In searching for answers as to why young people differ vastly from
their parents and grandparents when it comes to turning out the
vote, A New Engagement challenges the conventional wisdom that
today's youth is plagued by a severe case of political apathy. In

Shedding new light on the political socialization of American women
In searching for answers as to why young people differ vastly from
their parents and grandparents when it comes to turning out the
vote, A New Engagement challenges the conventional wisdom that
today's youth is plagued by a severe case of political apathy. In
order to understand the current nature of citizen engagement, it is
critical to separate political from civic engagement. Using the
results from an original set of surveys and the authors' own
primary research, they conclude that while older citizens
participate by voting, young people engage by volunteering and
being active in their communities.
