The results of the analysis demonstrate that there are systematic differences between the ways that male and female candidates communicate with voters, but that these differences are typically not sizeable. In other words, gender seems to matter in campaign communications strategies but not always for very much. Where we do observe differences, however, the findings show that they tend to reinforce gender-based stereotypes more so than work to counteract them. Thus, these differences may be partly accountable for the electoral results we observe.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"26 1","pages":"131 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014v26n03_06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66694201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has demonstrated that once women choose to become candidates they not only receive equal levels of party and financial support, but are just as likely as equally situated men to win. The primary reason for women's underrepresentation is that women are significantly less likely to choose to run than men. Using survey data from four different age cohorts in a central New York county, this paper provides some additional insight into why women are so much less likely to become candidates for political office than men. The findings suggest that a multiplicity of factors including political gender role socialization, a lack of political confidence, family responsibilities and the relatively few numbers of visible women role models in politics all contribute to why women don't run.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"9 1","pages":"27 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014v26n02_02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66694361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Mack Jones, distinguished professor of political science at Clark Atlanta University and founding president of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists, the responsibility of black political scientists is to “develop a political science which grows out of a black perspective” and so the chapters that follow are united by this goal (1977, 16). Understanding that it is important, but not enough, to say that the general concern from which the book originates is the paucity of scholarly research devoted to black feminist voices in politics, I maintain that the integration of leading historic black female activists aids in the explanation and understanding of group consciousness in general and black feminist consciousness in particular, as both are rooted in lived experiences with interlocking systems of oppression. Perhaps the best way to understand the simultaneity of oppression faced by black women is to study the proponents of black feminism as they engaged in public debate and grassroots activism, assuming that black feminist consciousness has in some ways shaped, or at least informed, their political activities in light of the historical contexts, material conditions,","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"26 1","pages":"81-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59917321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An earlier study isolated family responsibilities and lack of finance as significant barriers for Irish women wishing to enter, and stay in, political life. In addition, scholarly and policy debates on boosting women's parliamentary representation focus on manipulating electoral or party selection rules along with strategies for making a political career more compatible with women's socially determined responsibilities. This paper examines how Irish women politicians respond to various suggestions for positive action in these three arenas: combining legislative and family responsibilities, funding a political campaign and getting elected. The paper highlights the broad consensus among women politicians, irrespective of party, self-interest, or length of service, favoring certain positive action initiatives, as well as their reluctance to support other options. It also illustrates the complexity of implementing some of these reforms. In addition, the paper emphasizes how cultural expectations and values act to inhibit women's political agency.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"26 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014v26n01_01","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66693524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on data for U.S. House incumbents in 1996 and 1998, I report that women incumbents faced better funded challengers than did comparable men, even after we control for first term status and district partisanship.
