Women, Partisanship, and the Congress

Bag om Women, Partisanship, and the Congress

As women increasingly play a role and gain even greater prominence in congressional politics, they need to navigate the at times conflicting demands of loyalty to party culture, responsiveness to party leadership, political goals, and the need to get re-elected.
