Description
Summary:The fifth edition of Gender and Elections offers a systematic, lively, multifaceted account of the role of gender in the electoral process through the 2020 elections. This timely, yet enduring, volume strikes a balance between highlighting the most important developments for women as voters and candidates in the 2020 elections and providing a more long term, in-depth analysis of the ways in which gender has helped shape the contours and outcomes of electoral politics in the United States. Individual chapters demonstrate the importance of gender in understanding and interpreting presidential elections, voter participation and turnout, voting choices, congressional elections, the participation of African American women, the support of political parties and women's organizations, candidate communications with voters and state elections. Without question, Gender and Elections is the most comprehensive, reliable and trustworthy resource on the role of gender in electoral politics.
