Women and Politics: Paths to Power and Political Influence

by Julie Dolan, Melissa M. Deckman, Michele L. Swers

Updated in a new 2 nd edition, Women and Paths to Power and Political Influence analyzes the most recent research in the field while maintaining a focus on the historic events and key players in the women’s movement. Profiling a diverse group of political women and their experiences in the world of politics, this book recounts the paths women have taken to gain power, analyzes the elite status female politicians have achieved thus far, and questions the continued underrepresentation of women in politics today.

Read for class

[Rebekah Callahan]

Textbook for my Women in American Politics class. One of the most liberally swung books I’ve ever been assigned, and that’s saying something. So far left I would say it’s actually oppressive to the diversity of women. Had some good history though if you dig.
