When Does Gender Matter?

Women Candidates and Gender Stereotypes in American Elections

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Scholars and political observers raise concerns that the sex of a woman candidate can complicate her chances of success. This perspective is primarily motivated by concerns about the negative impact of voter gender stereotypes. Instead, this book demonstrates that gender stereotypes have little impact on voter decisions involving women candidates.
