Omschrijving
Uncovering the psychological and sociological reasons for the gender gap in American politics, this fascinating volume explores how such factors influence women and lead to their political beliefs and behaviors.
Research shows that voting women are distinctly different from voting men.
Kelly L. Winfrey successfully complicates singular narratives about women voters while providing evidence that gender identity and group consciousness have influential effects on women's political beliefs and behaviors across party and ideological lines. Her findings should compel both scholars and practitioners to re-evaluate assumptions about how gender informs women's political evaluations and engagement.
Understanding How Women Vote provides a wealth of information regarding gender differences in electoral behavior and examines the variations that exist among women who have different levels of group identification and hold different gender-role beliefs. The wide-ranging and comprehensive scope of Kelly L. Winfrey’s analysis and the illuminating differences she finds between more traditional and more feminist women make this book indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the role of women voters in contemporary American politics.
Kelly L. Winfrey is assistant professor at the Greenlee School of Journalism and Mass Communication and faculty with the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics at Iowa State University, USA.
