Publisher's Synopsis
Women make up over half of the United States population but only around 25% of Congress. The office of U.S president has existed for over two centuries but the United States has never had a female president. Why?
Where Are the Women? examines the causes of women's political under-representation, discussing topics like political ambition, political socialization, gender political socialization, and self-objectification in a simple and accessible way. Kiehle emphasizes the dangers that under-representation can pose to democracy, while providing solutions that anyone - from students, teachers, and parents, to lawmakers - can implement.
