Women and American Politics: The Challenges of Political LeadershipThis new text provides an interesting, lively, and timely discussion of contemporary political issues in America that involve women as political participants, candidates, and office holders. The study of women and politics is a powerful voice within the discipline of Political Science, and this first edition text is a dynamic addition to the ongoing dialogue. Part of McGraw-Hill's Critical Topics in American Government series, the book provides students with a gendered look at key topics in American government. Throughout the text, brief biographical boxes present women, both past and present, who embody the concept of leadership in the American context. |
