More Women Can Run

Gender and Pathways to the State Legislatures

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book advances a new approach for understanding women's election to office, proposing a relationally embedded model of candidate emergence. Analyzing nationwide surveys of state legislators, the authors challenge assumptions of a single model of candidate emergence and the necessity for women to assimilate to men's pathways to office.
