Summary:

This edited volume, 'Politicking While Female: The Political Lives of Women,' examines the diverse experiences and challenges faced by women in the political arena. Edited by Nichole M. Bauer, the book is a collection of original academic scholarship inspired by the 2019 John Breaux Symposium at Louisiana State University. It explores themes such as women's political participation, gender dynamics on the campaign trail, and the legislative effectiveness of female politicians. The book highlights the surge in female candidacies following the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the subsequent social movements, including the Women's March and MeToo. With contributions from various scholars, it aims to provide insights into the motivations and strategies of women who pursue political office, particularly in the context of overcoming patriarchal norms. The intended audience includes scholars, students, and individuals interested in gender studies and political science. Generated by AI.
